Supreme Court Justice Abdulla Areef has resigned as President of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC).
The resignation of Justice Areef arrives in the wake of JSC’s probe into the judge on a variety of misconduct concerns, including 60 unconstitutional Supreme Court rulings.
JSC is also investigating alleged illegal conduct by Chief Justice Dr. Ahmed Abdulla Didi and Supreme Court Justice Adam Mohamed in addition to Justice Areef. Both individuals have stated that they believe JSC’s investigations to be unlawful, and have refused to be questioned at JSC.
