Sir Salamo Injia, GCL is a retired Judge and former Chief Justice of Papua New Guinea. Injia became Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea in 2008, succeeding Mari Kapi.[1] In 2018, Sir Gibbs Salika replaced him as the Chief Justice of Papua New Guinea. He was knighted in 2006. ControversiesElection of Peter O'NeillOn 9 November 2011, Sir Salamo Injia was suspended from the position of Chief Justice by the government after allegations that he had breached a contempt order and mismanaged court finances.[2] At the time, the Supreme Court was deciding on the constitutionality of the election of Peter O'Neill as Prime Minister of Papua New Guinea.[3] In response, the Supreme Court ordered the arrest of O'Neill supporters, Deputy Prime Minister Belden Namah and Attorney-General Dr Allan Marat. The pair were briefly imprisoned.[4] In December 2011, Sir Salamo Injia was one of five judges who presided over the Supreme Court decision that ruled that Prime Minister O'Neill did not follow due constitutional process when he ousted former Prime Minister Sir Michael Somare on 2 August 2011. The government made numerous attempts to remove Injia from the Supreme Court case, citing a conflict of interest. Judicial Conduct BillOn 22 March 2012 Prime Minister O'Neill's administration introduced a new law, the Judicial Conduct Bill, empowering the government to suspend judges by referring them to a tribunal. The bill was passed by parliament, 24 hours after it was introduced. Opposition commentators have criticised the new law as being designed to remove Injia from the Supreme Court.[5] Sir Barry Holloway, the former speaker of parliament, commented that while many had welcomed the ascension of the O'Neill government because of O'Neill's promised clampdown on corruption, O'Neill's on-going battle with the judiciary had "cost it a lot of the public goodwill it enjoyed when it first assumed power".[6] In May 2012, Injia and Justice Nicholas Kirriwom were arrested on charges of "sedition", having been part of a three-man bench who ruled that Somare is PNG's rightful leader.[7] A police unit led by Deputy Prime Minister Belden Namah stormed the court in an attempt to arrest Injia. This has caused alarm with the Australian Bar Association, which has called on the government of PNG to reaffirm the independence of its nation's judges.[8] In August 2012, the charges against Injia were dropped, following a letter from Prime Minister O'Neill to the Police Commissioner, Tom Kulunga, which requested that the proceedings against each of the judges charged be discontinued. O'Neill, who had originally lodged the complaint against Injia, said that the decision was "in the best interest of the country and the people."[9][10] Justice Timothy HinchliffeIn March 2012 Injia was arrested by the police, charged with obstructing a police investigation into his alleged intervention into the 2009 handling of the estate of the deceased judge, Justice Timothy Hinchliffe. Police alleged that Injia illegally redirected into court coffers K213, 000 (US$100, 000) meant for Hinchliffe's adopted son, Timothy Sarri.[11] The police chief defended the arrest, which was effected by armed officers, explaining that Injia had ignored repeated requests to attend an interview with the police about the execution of Hinchliffe's will.[12] A week later, amid increasing criticism from political and judicial circles that the arrest of Injia was politically motivated, the National Court of Papua New Guinea issued a permanent stay on proceedings against Injia, calling the charges an abuse of process. The court also issued a restraining order stopping police from arresting Injia again. The National Court found that the payments managed by Injia in relation to Justice Hinchliffe's estate had been authorised by Timothy Sarri.[13][14] References1. ^{{cite news |first=Firmin|last=Nanol|title=Former PNG Chief Justice dies|url=http://www.radioaustralianews.net.au/stories/200903/2527127.htm?desktop|work=Radio Australia|publisher=|date=26 March 2009 |accessdate=13 April 2009}} {{s-start}}{{s-legal}}{{s-bef|before=Mari Kapi}}{{s-ttl|title=Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Papua New Guinea|years=2008–present}}{{s-inc}}{{s-end}}{{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Injia, Salamo}}2. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=64320 |title=PNG government suspends Chief Justice |publisher=Radio New Zealand International |date=11 November 2011 |accessdate=11 November 2011}} 3. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.rnzi.com/pages/news.php?op=read&id=63956 |title=Hearings resume in PNG's Somare ouster case |publisher=Radio New Zealand International |date=25 October 2011 |accessdate=11 November 2011}} 4. ^{{cite web|url= http://thewall.com.au/topics/58052-png-court-orders-arrest-of-deputy-pm-namah | title= PNG Supreme Court orders arrest of deputy PM and attorney-general after the country's top judge is suspended | author=AAP| publisher=The Wall| date=December 2011}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.msn.co.nz/worldnews/8439450/png-bill-targets-chief-justice| title=PNG bill 'targets chief justice'| author=AAP| publisher=MSN News| date=22 March 2012}} 6. ^{{cite web|url= http://www.theage.com.au/world/outcry-as-png-government-wins-power-to-remove-judges-20120321-1vkbo.html?skin=text-only| title= Outcry as PNG government wins power to remove judges| author= Jo Chandler| publisher=The Age| date=22 March 2012}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/world/papua-new-guinea-chief-justice-sir-salamo-injia-held-for-sedition/story-e6frev00-1226366272633| title=Papua New Guinea Chief Justice Sir Salamo Injia held for sedition| author=Eoin Blackwell | publisher=The Daily Telegraph| date=25 May 2012}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-world/reaffirm-independence-for-png-judges-aba-20120529-1zh4o.html | title=Reaffirm independence for PNG judges: ABA| author=Eoin Blackwell| publisher=Sydney Morning Herald| date=29 May 2012}} 9. ^{{cite web| url=http://www.postcourier.com.pg/20120830/news01.htm| title=PM drops charges| author=Todagia Kelola| publisher=Post Courier| date=30 August 2012| deadurl=yes| archiveurl=https://archive.is/20130416063228/http://www.postcourier.com.pg/20120830/news01.htm| archivedate=16 April 2013| df=dmy-all}} 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.islandsbusiness.com/news/index_dynamic/containerNameToReplace=MiddleMiddle/focusModuleID=130/focusContentID=29799/tableName=mediaRelease/overideSkinName=newsArticle-full.tpl| title=Charges against PNG judges struck out, ex – soldiers ask govt to reinstate them | author=islandsbusiness.com| publisher= islandsbusiness.com | date=3 September 2012}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.pina.com.fj/?p=pacnews&m=read&o=18244404174f568cb370f0b1a72070 | title=Police charge PNG chief justice| author=PINA| publisher=PINA| date=7 March 2012}} 12. ^{{cite web|url= http://afr.com/p/world/png_police_chief_defends_arrest_8jhTN9QWS00qzF9r57nULO | title= PNG police chief defends arrest of judge| author=AAP| publisher=AFR| date=12 March 2012}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.pina.com.fj/index.php?p=pacnews&m=read&o=16753668984f5fc2043f679ebb93db| title=PNG court drops chief justice case| author=PINA| publisher=PINA| date=14 March 2012}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-world/png-court-drops-chief-justice-case-20120313-1uy79.html| title=PNG court drops chief justice case| author=Eoin Blackwell| publisher=The Sydney Morning Herald| date=13 March 2012}} 5 : Chief justices of Papua New Guinea|Papua New Guinean judges|Knights Bachelor|Living people|Year of birth missing (living people) |
