A resolution to be issued by Nasheed’s administration, which states that government institutions should not implement lower court orders, and dismisses lower court Judges from employment, has been leaked.
Also leaked is another resolution, for the constitution of a Judicial Reform Commission to reform and improve the judicial system.
This resolution states that the Judicial Reform Commission constituted by the President according to article 115 of the Constitution, should complete its work by 16 February 2012.
It also noted that lower court Judges at the time contradicted article 285 of the Constitution.
Several articles of the Constitution were cited in both resolutions to stress that the President had the authority to make those reforms.
A news article prepared by the President’s office to be sent to the media in relation to these resolutions has also been leaked.
The article mentions the names of four members to be appointed to the Judicial Reform Commission, who are Mahchangolhi Uthuru MP Mariya Ahmed Didi in her capacity as a member of Parliament, Ahmed Mu’uthasim Adnan in his capacity as Judge of Supreme Court, Ahmed Shareef in his capacity as Chief Judge of High Court, and Ahmed Abdullah Afeef in his capacity as an attorney.
