A civil court judge has granted a stay on the seizure of a domestic airport leased to Jumhooree Party leader Gasim Ibrahim’s Villa Group.
The judge ordered the tourism ministry to suspend the takeover until the court reaches a verdict on its abrupt termination of the 50-year lease agreement to manage the Kaadehdhoo airport in Gaaf Dhaal Atoll.
The termination may cause irreparable damages to the Villa Group, Judge Mohamed Haleem said.
The attorney general’s office has appealed the stay order at the high court.
