Parliament is set to vote on the validity of the Judicial Service Commission’s decision to suspend Supreme Court Justice Abdulla Didi.
The JSC is investigating Didi after it was alleged he took a US$1 million bribe in 2015 to sentence former President Mohamed Nasheed to 13 years in jail.
Didi is also being investigated for allegedly receiving money from the $90 million embezzlement of resort acquisition fees by the Maldives Marketing and Public Relations Corporation.
Parliament’s Judiciary Committee came to the conclusion last night that the Supreme Court had obstructed the JSC by ordering a stay on Didi’s suspension.
