The Judicial Service Commission has recommended to Parliament that Thinadhoo Island Magistrate Ibrahim Rasheed be dismissed.
Hassan Zaheen, the director of the JSC, said the judicial watchdog had investigated a disciplinary case against Rasheed and concluded that the Majlis should consider his dismissal.
“We investigated a disciplinary case [against] Ibrahim Rasheed due to his involvement in a public quarrel,” he told the Maldives Independent.
Rasheed has a poor disciplinary record and was even arrested in connection with drugs while serving as a magistrate.
