Mohamed Shaheed Withdraws High Court Nomination Amid Controversy
People's National Congress (PNC) activist Mohamed Shaheed withdrew his nomination for High Court judge after criticism over political ties and lack of experience. He filed a withdrawal letter with the Judicial Service Commission (JSC), which had appointed him and Abdulla Jameel Moosa to fill two High Court vacancies. Lawyer Ahmed Naushad, who also applied for the position, had filed a petition to halt Shaheed's appointment, arguing his close ties to the PNC and limited judicial experience compromised integrity. The JSC has not commented. Shaheed previously served as deputy minister of homeland security and had practiced law for five years.
