The criminal court cancelled Sunday a hearing scheduled to hear evidence against former Vice President Ahmed Adeeb, who is accused of terrorism on a charge of carrying a pistol.
Only one of the two witnesses summoned had turned up, a judge said, announcing the cancellation.
The terrorism charge against Adeeb first surfaced hours before he was impeached in a controversial vote convened amidst a state of emergency in November.
He was removed shortly after his arrest on suspicion of links to a blast on President Abdulla Yameen’s speedboat.
