There are no due processes that the Attorney General’s Office or the Prosecutor General’s Office need to follow in relation to Thursday’s Supreme Court ruling, former chief justice Ahmed Faiz says.

Faiz said this in a post on his official Facebook account, adding that personal sentiments and misgivings about the verdict must not factor into its enforcement.

Faiz’s post states that the government is ‘plainly’ attempting to have enforcing the ruling delayed, and that the Prosecutor General’s Office and Attorney General’s Office have no capacity to question it.

Faiz was removed from his position at the helm of Maldives’ judiciary at the Supreme Court after the state changed the number of justices from seven to three.
