The Criminal Court has suspended a number of staff members after they allegedly refused to work overtime, reports local media.
According to local media reports, last Monday (10 February) staff at the Criminal Court refused to work overtime and left for home after the court informed them they would not be paid for overtime.
Local newspaper Haveeru quoted an employee, saying that they had been told of the suspension today. Media reports have quoted figures of around a dozen staff being involved.
According to the staff, they had previously petitioned the judges at the court over the issue prior to the strike.
