Supreme Court Upholds Civil Court Verdict in ‘Haveeru’ Ownership Dispute

The Supreme Court on Sunday upheld the Civil Court's 2014 ruling rejecting Abdulla Farooq Hassan and Ibrahim Rasheed Moosa's claims to shares in Haveeru News and Loamaafaanu Print, overturning a High Court decision that had revoked the lower court's judgment. The court affirmed Dr Mohamed Zahir Hussain's sole ownership, ending a prolonged dispute over the newspaper that began publication in 1979 and was suspended in 2017.
