The parliament’s independent institutions committee has rejected High Court Judge Dr Azmiralda Zahir’s complaint regarding her transfer to the court’s newly established southern branch.
Azmiralda – the most senior female judge in Maldives – filed a complaint with the Judicial Services Commission last month stating that her “forced” relocation to the southern Addu City has infringed her rights as well as that of her two young children.
She formally wrote to the parliamentary oversight committee in mid-March after the judicial watchdog body failed to respond.
Azmiralda claims that the Supreme Court has also refused to answer her written queries.
