High Court on Tuesday ordered a lower court to open a rejected case against a man accused of sexually abusing a minor.
The case filed at the magistrate court on an island in Lhaviyani Atoll, charges a man with sexually abusing a 12-year-old child on the road. The lower court dropped the case last year, stating that the evidence submitted by the prosecution did not meet the balance of probability standard specified in the Criminal Procedure Code.
