Declaring 2015 a success for the embattled Maldivian judiciary on Tuesday, Chief Justice Abdulla Saeed vowed to uphold the Maldivian state and protect citizen’s rights.
The judiciary “will remain an institution that upholds the law, the tenets of Islam, and will uphold the Maldivian state and protest the rights of the citizens,” Saeed said at a ceremony to celebrate the judiciary’s work at Paradise Island Resort.
The ceremony was attended by judges, magistrates, and cabinet ministers.
The Supreme Court’s decision to reduce appeal periods, regulation of the legal professions, and the division of the appellate High Court into three branches was highlighted as successes.
