A hearing to examine the objection is scheduled for May 23.<br \/>\nThe Council of the Supreme Constitutional Court, comprised of nine judges, will convene in a special setting to hear the case. The objections and arguments from the Auditor General will be presented to the Attorney General, and the Council will determine a date for their initial appearance.<br \/>\nThe dispute stems from the Attorney General\u2019s refusal to press criminal charges against a police officer who failed to comply with questioning by the Independent Authority Against Corruption, led by former judge Haris Poyadjis.<br \/>\nThe Comptroller General\u2019s team argues that his position aligns with those of many other institutions, and therefore the Attorney General\u2019s conduct cannot be deemed inappropriate.<br \/>\nAt the first hearing, anticipated in May, the Auditor General\u2019s legal team intends to raise two preliminary objections.<br \/>\nThe first challenges the Attorney General\u2019s application as manifestly unfounded, while the second questions the Attorney General\u2019s authority to seek the removal of an independent official.<br \/>\nThe Council\u2019s rules allow it to dismiss the application if deemed manifestly unfounded at any point in the proceedings.<br \/>\nRead more:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-wp-embed is-provider-in-cyprus-com wp-block-embed-in-cyprus-com\"><\/figure>\n<p>legal battle. objection, misconduct, legal battle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Auditor General has objected to the Attorney General&#8217;s request for his removal on grounds of misconduct, leading to a legal battle.
