Supreme Court Chief Justice Dr. Abdulla Didi embarked on an official visit to Egypt, on Friday morning.
Didi is set to attend the Golden Jubilee celebrations of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Egypt.
The visit comes upon the official invitation of the Supreme Constitutional Court of Egypt and Didi is accompanied by Supreme Court Justice Abdul Ghanee Mohamed.
His visit comes at a time the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has launched probes into two cases against him.
JSC on 17 October launched an additional investigation against 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.
