Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has asked the Supreme Court to dismiss an appeal challenging the composition of the High Court bench that heard his impeachment petitions, arguing the matter is now "moot".

• The dispute centers on whether the Deputy Chief Justice or the Chief Justice has the constitutional authority to empanel such benches.
• Gachagua's legal team argues that the appeal is overtaken by events, as the Chief Justice has since appointed a new bench and all parties have participated in hearings before it.
• The Supreme Court's decision will impact how procedural disputes in impeachment cases are handled.
