The Court of Appeal sitting in Abuja, on Tuesday, deferred the full-blown hearing of substantive appeals seeking to set aside the judgment that ordered the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) to deregister the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and four other political parties until July 14.
The adjournment followed the failure of some of the parties to file and exchange the necessary processes in time.
Some of the respondents drew the attention of the court to processes they said were served on them before the commencement of the proceedings and requested time to file their responses.
Consequently, the Justice Abba Mohammed-led three-member panel shifted the scheduled hearing to enable all the parties to regularise their processes.
