The government has allocated funds and a 12,000 square feet plot of land in Malé for the construction of a new court complex, the department of judicial administration (DJA) has said.
The DJA said in a press statement last night that the court complex will be built on plot number 345 between the State Trading Organisation (STO) head office and the Maafanu Madharsa pre-school in the western end of the capital.
“As the state’s policy is to facilitate the needs of the judiciary, the government has worked to solve the lack of capacity presently faced by the courts and has made generous arrangements,” the department said.
The government has provided the former STO head office building on Haveeree Hingun for the civil court’s out-of-court dispute resolution section, the DJA said, in addition to land in Malé for the juvenile court and drug court.
