The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) is to launch an additional probe against Supreme Court Chief Justice Dr. Abdulla Didi after he refused to accept the counsel documents handed over to him.
JSC decided to counsel Chief Justice Didi and two other justices of the bench on 8 October following the report by its investigative committee on complaints submitted against the three.
When summoned regarding the case, Justice Didi had refused to turn up, having released a statement that JSC is not authorized to investigate the case.
JSC in turn accused Didi of obstructing the commission’s constitutional rights by spreading false information regarding the commission’s probe.
JSC earlier revealed that their decision to counsel the justices comes under article 39 of the Judges Act which requires judges to be counselled if any complaints are raised against them
