Male’ City Council (MCC) Mayor ‘Maizan’ Ali Manik was summoned to the Criminal Court today to explain to the registrar what the court felt was an “impolite” letter sent to it by the council.
The letter in question had been sent to the Criminal Court by the MCC following the police’s request for a court order for the clearance of the Usfasgandu area.
The police had received instruction from the Home Ministry to clear the area after the MCC had refused to hand the land over to the government.
Manik explained that the reasons for his summons had been “nothing serious”, and that the registrar felt “the letter was too hard and contained no politeness.”
