The High Court, on Monday, repealed former Chief Justice Abdulla Saeed's prison sentence of one year and seven months and six days, setting him free.
Saeed was convicted of obstructing justice after the Criminal Court found him guilty of refusing to comply with Maldives Police Service's order to hand over his mobile phone for investigation, after his arrest under the state of emergency declared by former President Yameen on February 5, 2018.
