Supreme Court Verdict: Can It Break the Parliamentary Deadlock?

The Supreme Court ruled against the Parliament Secretariat's interpretation of the standing orders, clarifying that when both the Speaker and Deputy Speaker cannot preside, one of the five longest-serving parliamentarians should take the chair, potentially clearing the path for the no-confidence motion against Speaker Mohamed Nasheed. Parliament has scheduled the no-confidence motion against Nasheed for Sunday, amid allegations he may delay proceedings until after the presidential inauguration on 17 November.
