A judge who was among the group dismissed following the Anas Aremeyaw Anas exposé has achieved a favorable judgment at the Court of Appeal, overturning the previous decision.

Benjamin Yaw Osei, who served as a judge at the Juabeng Circuit Court during the time of the investigation into judicial corruption, was one of the 20 judges from lower courts who faced dismissal in 2015.

The allegation was that he freed an accused person after receiving bribes from them.

Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Wood established a "prima facie case of stated misbehaviour against them", a statement by Ghana's Judicial Council said.

But his lawyers have been arguing that the allegation is not accurate because the accused person has actually been convicted and imprisoned.

Today, a 3-member panel of the Court of Appeal presided over by Justice Senyo Dzamefe overturned the earlier high court judgment against the appellant.

The recent ruling in his favor signifies a significant development in his case. However, specific details regarding the judgment and its implications were not provided.

The judgment means he may be reinstated as a judge.
