The Civil Court has dismissed a case filed by the State Trading Organisation (STO) against MP Riyaz Rasheed’s Meridian Services seeking to recover MVR19.3 million (US$1.2 million) released as credit.
According to local media, the court dismissed the lawsuit after STO lawyers did not turn up to a hearing scheduled for February 6.
Judges are empowered to dismiss cases if the plaintiff or claimant does not attend court hearings.
The former Dhivehi Qaumee Party MP meanwhile joined the ruling Progressive Party of Maldives last month.
