The Judicial Service Commission has appointed Shujau Usman as the new chief judge at the High Court.
He was appointed with the unanimous votes of JSC members at a meeting Wednesday.
Usman acted as the High Court’s head judge following Abdulla Didi’s move to the Supreme Court in July. He was appointed to the High Court in 2015 and served at the court’s southern branch in Addu City in 2016.
Local media reported last year that he was moved back to the main branch in the capital over death threats in the southernmost atoll.
