High Court’s acceptance of Gayoom’s liability in DRP debt case escalated to Supreme Court

Former President Maumoon Abdul Gayoom has escalated a debt case which seeks his liability in the debt owed to Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC) by Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP), to the Supreme Court after the High Court accepted to review the ruling of the lower court which was in his favour.

In the case, MTCC seeks MVR 1.1 million which is owed to the company by DRP. The party, which Gayoom presided over at the time, was dissolved before the amount was paid to MTCC.
