Chief Magistrate Raghib resigns following motion for dismissal

Chief Magistrate of Kaafu Judicial Constituency Mohamed Raghib resigned on Thursday, following Judicial Service Commission (JSC)'s decision to submit a motion to the parliament requesting for Raghib's dismissal.

JSC suspended Raghib, who served in the judiciary for 27 years, in July over a case under investigation by the judicial watchdog. The commission's investigative committee decided on forwarding the case to parliament for Raghib's dismissal after the conclusion of this probe.
