Supreme Court Review Sought in Ex-President Gayoom’s Debt Liability Case

The High Court allowed Maldives Transport and Contracting Company's appeal against a Civil Court ruling that favoured former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom over an alleged MVR 1.1 million debt of his former party, the Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party, and the case now awaits a Supreme Court ruling. The case could set a legal precedent on political party leaders' financial responsibility for their organisations' obligations.
