Civil Court today dismissed the Judicial Service Commission's (JSC) findings of behavioral issues against Chief Criminal Judge Abdulla Mohamed. JSC had claimed irrefutable behavioral issues had been found against Judge Abdulla due to a comment he had made on private television station DhiTV, who in turn had filed the case pleading the court to dismiss the findings against him.
The Court ruling detailed that the decision that behavioral issues had been found against Judge Abdulla had been made without allowing the Judge to present his defence. The ruling also stressed that the JSC like any other institution of the State can be answerable in a court of law if the decision made by an institution has aggrieved any party.
In addition the ruling also stressed that irrefutable evidence could not presented to prove that Judge Abdulla had in fact made the alleged comment on the television station. Also the ruling stated that JSC had not investigated the case sufficiently enough as specified in the Judges Act.
Henceforth, the decision made by the committee formed by JSC and the Commission itself based on the findings of the committee are hereby dismissed, ruling of the Civil Court said presided by a three Judges’ bench.
It is known that several other cases against Judge Abdulla had been filed with the JSC.
