Ali Hussain is a vocal critic of the Maldives judiciary, and has repeatedly spoke out against the lack of resolution to civil rights issues in the country.
He has been suspended twice over his critical comments.
DJA also recently lifted the 13-day suspension of former prosecutor general Hussain Shameem over a similar issue.
