The 2017 report of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) shows that Parliament Speaker Abdulla Maseeh, Attorney General Mohamed Anil, and Juvenile Court’s Judge Mohamed Easa had the worst attendance.
Judge Easa had the lowest attendance for being present at nine of the 26 sessions, 22 of which were compulsory.
Parliament Speaker Abdulla Maseeh had the second lowest attendance for being present at only 13 sessions and failing to disclose a reason for not attending six of these sessions.
Attorney General Anil had the third worst attendance for being present at 11 sessions and failing to disclose a reason for not attending four sessions.
JSC said only two of the 10 members attended all the sessions; Latheefa Gasim and Mohamed Faisal.
JSC had placed 83 sessions on last year’s agenda but 57 were cancelled for failing to meet the quorum. At least one session has to be held each month, according to the commission’s regulation.
The JSC looks into complaints regarding judges and take appropriate action.
