RaajjeMV understands that Attorney General Mohamed Anil and Chief of Defense Force Major General Ahmed Shiyam had entered Supreme Court on Thursday night.

Trusted sources report that the two had visited Supreme Court at around 10.30pm on Thursday. No other details of the meeting have been made public, while the media official for Maldives National Defense Force (MNDF) had said he was not aware of such a visit.

Eyewitnesses reported that AG Anil entered Supreme Court through the main doors, while Chief of Defense Force Major General Ahmed Shiyam had used the side entrance near the local market.

The AG had not answered the calls made by RaajjeMV for a comment.

The visit came at a time when rumors had surfaced that the Government was contemplating on asking for a ruling by the Supreme Court, that automatically removes any sitting Parliamentarian if he votes against the whip line or exits their respective Party.
