The senior magistrate of the ‘Thundi’ ward of Gan in Laamu Atoll is currently under investigation after he filed documents at the Island Council Office indicating that his age was 50, despite his eldest son being 48 years old, reported Haveeru.
Haveeru reported allegations that the magistrate had intentionally defrauded the documents because he would have been required to resign from his position if he was over 60 years-old.
The paper also reported that the magistrate was now even younger than his younger brother, according to the documents submitted.
Sources told Haveeru that the magistrate’s real age was, 68 and his younger brother was aged 66.
Haveeru reported that another magistrate working in the same court was now investigating the case.
The court and staff declined to speak about the matter, reported Haveeru.
