The judicial watchdog has lifted the suspension of Criminal Court Judge Ahmed Rasheed after nearly one year, Mihaaru reported Friday.
The Judicial Service Commission decided last week that there was not enough evidence to prove allegations of ethical misconduct and instructed the judge to return to work on Sunday, according to the newspaper, which also revealed that Rasheed was placed under investigation over a row with the then-Chief Judge Adam Arif.
Rasheed was formerly a member of the JSC – a 10-member oversight body – as the representatives of licensed lawyers.
He was appointed to the bench in early 2015.
