The judicial watchdog has appointed a public prosecutor who was involved in the prosecution of high-profile politicians and a former court registrar to the criminal court.
Adam Arif, a senior prosecutor who prosecuted former President Mohamed Nasheed, former Defence Minister Mohamed Nazim, and Adhaalath Party President Sheikh Imran Abdulla, was appointed to the criminal court on April 6.
Ali Adam who was a former criminal court registrar for a brief period was also appointed to vacant seat on the court bench.
The appointments come in the wake of an overhaul of the criminal court bench, with Chief Judge Abdulla Mohamed, Judges Abdulla Nasheed and Ahmed Sameer Abdul Azeez transferred to the family court in recent months.
