Earlier this week, a five-member Supreme Court panel threw out a defamation suit against Assin Central Member of Parliament Kennedy Agyapong.
The Apex court had been petitioned by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas after a lower court last year ruled in the MP's favour over the matter.
Chief Justice Gertrude Torkonoo was presiding in a case whose full ruling is yet to be published by the court.
According to a Daily Guide Newspaper report, three Justices ruled in favour of the lawmaker, while two agreed with the journalist.
