  ABSTRACT: The Ghanaian courts have allowed the efflorescence of legal doctrines as necessary nutrients for the enjoyment and development of rights and obligations under the law within the Ghanaian jurisdiction. One such procedural doctrine is LOCUS STANDI or capacity of a party to invoke the supervisory jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Ghana. This allows the Supreme Court to exercise constitutional oversight responsibility over the actions of all other courts in Ghana. This power emanates from Article 132 of the 1992 Constitution of the Republic of Ghana. The aim of this research is to unravel the inconsistency with which the Supreme Court of Ghana deals with who has the capacity under Article 132 to access the Supervisory Jurisdiction of the Supreme Court of Ghana under Constitutional regime. This paper was developed through qualitative review of various literatures and relevant modern case law to the subject.
