The Supreme Court of the Maldives ruled that MP Mohamed Sinan lost his People's Majlis seat for Hithadhoo North after failing to comply with an October 2024 order to repay MVR 2.5 million tied to a Maldives Islamic Bank loan. The court rejected his arguments that he was unaware of the judgment and that the debt could be recovered through collateral, leaving the seat vacant.
One outlet so far Only The Standard has reported this among the sources we monitor. A gap in what we monitor, not proof that others did not report it.
There is no legal basis to accept the claim that the respondent was unaware of the judgment or had not received it
Nothing to compare yet. If another monitored source reports it, its headline appears beside this one.
The case was submitted to the apex court by Ghalib Saleem, seeking to have Sinan's seat declared vacant on the grounds that he had failed to comply with a prior court order related to a financial obligation.
