The civil court has ruled in favour of a company linked to ruling party lawmaker Riyaz Rasheed in a dispute with the Maldives Ports Limited over a fuel supply contract.
In a judgment delivered Monday, the civil court ruled that MPL was buying diesel from other suppliers in breach of its contract with Meridiam Services and ordered the state-owned company to abide by an agreement signed in April 2016.
The civil court previously issued a temporary order compelling MPL to buy diesel exclusively from Meridiam Services for vehicles and vessels used in Malé’s commercial port.
The order was granted pending a judgment in Meridiam’s lawsuit against MPL alleging breach of contract after the ports company began buying diesel from other suppliers.
