The Civil Court’s annulment of the Judicial Service Commission’s (JSC) decision that Chief Judge of the Criminal Court Abdulla Mohamed is guilty of misconduct has been appealed by the JSC.
JSC Media Official Hassan Zaheen said on Tuesday that the decision to appeal the case was made some time ago.
Judge Abdullah was found guilty of misconduct by JSC following a report by DhiTV News, on July 2009, of a comment made by Judge Abdullah about former President Mohamed Nasheed’s government.
The Civil Court annulled the JSC’s decision on 25 July 2012.
It was ruled by Civil Court that evidence presented by JSC’s investigation team on the subject was not sufficient to prove that Judge Abdulla made the comment.
The Court highlighted that JSC did not allow Judge Abdulla the opportunity to present his defence on this case.
