The Supreme Court has appointed a secretary-general in spite of an order by the Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC) to halt the appointment process until it concludes an investigation, reports newspaper Haveeru.
According to Haveeru, the wife of Criminal Court Judge Abdulla Didi – also a member of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) – has been appointed to the new post of secretary-general.
ACC Deputy Chair Muaviz Rasheed said that the ACC investigation was prompted by a complaint about the Supreme Court appointment but declined to divulge further details of the ongoing investigation.
