Supreme Court judges have received backing from the Federation of Women Lawyers in Kenya (FIDA), which argues that it is illegal to simultaneously remove more than two judges from office.
The lobby argued in its case filed before the High Court that the Constitution does not anticipate a vacuum at the apex court.
FIDA sued the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) and the Attorney General.
FIDA's lawyer, Caroline Oduor, said the agency had opted to sue to block an imminent crisis.
