A single-man Supreme Court bench dismissed the application by Waranaka, who sought leave to review an interlocutory decision and exercise of discretion of the National Court to allow the affidavits and competency applications of Maru and the Electoral Commission to go through.
The election petition before Justice Collin Makail is ready to go for trial in Wewak starting August 2018 and ending in September.
However, Waranaka filed an application to dismiss the affidavits and objections to competencies as being filed within time but served out of time.
