The suit filed by the former speaker of the Lagos State House of Assembly, Mudashiru Obasa, challenging his removal as speaker, on Friday resumed before an Ikeja High Court.
The respondents in the suit are members of the state assembly and the current speaker, Mojisola Meranda.
Obasa was impeached on Jan. 13, following allegations of gross misconduct and abuse of office, and the deputy, Meranda, was elected as his successor.
When the case was called on Friday, several Senior Advocates of Nigeria appeared for the plaintiff and the respondents.
Mr Afolabi Fashanu (SAN), appeared for Obasa, while Mr Femi Falana (SAN), Mr Muiz Banire (SAN) and a team of other lawyers represented 34 lawmakers.
Also, Mr Olu Daramola (SAN) and Mr Dada Awosika (SAN) represented other members of the house seeking to be joined in the suit.
Equally, Mr Tayo Oyetibo (SAN) led Mrs Bimbo Akeredolu (SAN) and other lawyers to represent Meranda, the new speaker.
Pinheiro, in her short ruling, also ordered that all members of the Lagos House of Assembly be joined as parties in the suit.
The judge adjourned until March 7 for hearing of the pending preliminary objections.
In an application dated Feb.12, Obasa had alleged that he was unlawfully removed from his position on Jan. 13 by 36 lawmakers, while he was abroad.
