The High Court has rejected the case filed by the former Human Rights Minister Fathimath Dhiyana Saeed, requesting the court to rule that former President Mohamed Nasheed’s resignation was obtained under duress and the transfer of power on February 7, 2012 was illegitimate.
Rejecting the case, the court claimed it did not have jurisdiction to look into the matter.
Speaking to local newspaper Haveeru, the former SAARC Secretary General said that she and her legal team had been informed by the High Court that the case could not be looked into as it was beyond the court’s jurisdiction.
However, Saeed told Haveeru that she was of the view that High Court had the jurisdiction to look into the case.
