Justice Derek Hartshorn after hearing the application today reserved his decision for a later date without disclosing when the matter will return to court for his ruling.
Justice Hartshorn heard the notice of motion that was filed by Agiru on Monday asking the court to grant temporary or interim orders to him (Agiru) to remain as governor of Hela and continue his functions as governor.
Agiru filed the application after he was ousted as Hela governor in a Provincial Assembly meeting on December 29 in Tari.
