Majlis rejects resolution to hold JSC accountable for unfair dismissal of Justices
The People's Majlis rejected a resolution calling for the Judicial Service Commission to be held accountable for the dismissal of Supreme Court justices Azmiralda Zahir and Mahaz Ali Zahir, denying it floor debate with 28 MPs voting against and seven in favour. The resolution was submitted after the Prosecutor General's Office decided on September 30 to decline criminal prosecution of the dismissed judges, citing lack of evidence.
