The civil court has threatened to hold Attorney General Mohamed Anil in contempt after his office decided to appeal a judgment that barred former Haveeru staff from working for any other media organisation for two years.
In a lengthy rebuttal made public today, the court informed the AG today that he is not exempt from contempt of court regulations and threatened to take action after summoning him to a hearing.
The AG office had said last Thursday that the state believes the two-year ban on the ex-Haveeru staff is unconstitutional, unlawful, invalid, and cannot be enforced.
Judge Mohamed Haleem had also ordered the home ministry and the broadcasting commission to take action against former staff working at other media organisations upon request by the Haveeru News Agency’s majority shareholders.
