The Department of Judicial Administration has refused to answer a letter by detained Vice President Ahmed Adeeb’s lawyer asking for specifics of a Supreme Court-ordered criminal inquiry against him.
Hussain Shameem, a former deputy prosecutor general, told The Maldives Independent that a letter he wrote to Chief Justice Abdulla Saeed was returned without reply.
“They gave no reason was given as to why my letter was returned. I cannot think of any other explanation but that the Supreme Court’s logic is too superior for us to understand or that it is decades ahead of us,” Shameem, who now resides in Sri Lanka, said.
“Maybe that is the reason why I am finding this unconventional move so confusing and absurd.”
