Former Attorney General (AG) Dhiyana Saeed has said that judges giving secret testimonies is legally unacceptable.

She said this after the Criminal Court scheduled a court hearing for Saturday to hear secret testimonies against jailed Supreme Court Chief Justice Abdulla Saeed and Justice Ali Hameed.

In a tweet on Saturday, Dhiyana expressed concern over the possibility that the judge giving the secret testimony is also presiding over the trial.

In a press statement, the justices’ legal team said that the secret testimonies will possibly be taken from Judge Adam Areef, the acting chief of Criminal Court, and Judge Mohamed Hailam from Civil Court.

Previous secret testimonies have recently been leaked. It shows that the only two judges testifying against the jailed justices are judges Adam Areef and Mohamed Hailam.
