Bayero has been holding courts at the palace since his return to the state after the dissolution of the emirates.
The state government, the state attorney general and Kano Emirate are the plaintiffs while Bayero is the sole defendant in the matter.
The order directed parties in the suit to maintain status quo regarding the structural and architectural design of the palace pending hearing and determination of the suit.
