A resolution calling for action to be taken against the Supreme Court if it exceeds its legal remit was submitted to parliament on Wednesday, as the battle between the judiciary and legislature intensifies.
The resolution was submitted by Thulhaadhoo MP Hisaan Hussain, who also represents parliament on the Judicial Service Commission.
“The Supreme Court’s order is an unwarranted and an arbitrary intrusion… into the sovereign powers of the legislative body appointed by the people,” Hisaan said after submitting the motion.
The Supreme Court and parliament clashed after the apex court issued a stay on the JSC’s suspension of Justice Abdulla Didi.
