The Prosecutor General has filed an appeal case in the Supreme Court on former president Mohamed Nasheed’s case.
In a statement issued yesterday، PG stated that the case was filed to set aside the High Court’s decision on the case.
In the Statement، the Prosecutor General stated that the application was not filed at the request of former President Nasheed. Instead it was filed as per the mandate of the Prosecutor General conferred upon him by Article 223 of the Constitution.
PG further expressed concerns regarding the High Court’s decision، and said that there had been a clear misapplication of the relevant legal test when determining whether the appeal ought to be accepted.
The Maldives High Court had،  on  10 September 2015،  rejected the appeal lodged by the Prosecutor General on behalf of former President Nasheed، ruling that the grounds it was filed were not meritorious.
