The Achimota Senior High School through the Attorney General has argued in court that allowing the two Rastafarian into the school will have a dire effect on the school’s health, discipline, religion and community cohesion and tradition.

Justice Gifty Adjei Addo disagreed with the submissions of the Attorney and granted all the reliefs separately sought by the students, save for the relief of compensation in the case of Tyrone Marhguy.
According to Justice Addo, it is preposterous for the Attorney General to have even suggested that the two were not students in the first place.
Justice Gifty Adjei Addo consequently directed Achimota School to admit the two Rastafarian students.
