Supreme Court, on Monday, is announcing the verdicts regarding the dismissal of four lawmakers.
The court has scheduled hearings regarding the dismissal of Thinadhoo South MP Abdulla Ahmed, Mahchangolhi South MP Abdulla Sinan, Dhangethi MP Ilham Ahmed and Thinadhoo North Saudulla Hilmee for Mondays' session.
The Elections Commission (EC) had declared the lawmakers disqualified from parliament and called for a by-election of the constituency on July 18, 2017, in relation to the Supreme Court's prickly anti-defection ruling last year, which stated that any lawmaker who resigned or was dismissed after July 13, 2017 from the political party they were registered at during the time of their election to parliament, would lose their seat by default
The court is yet to schedule hearings for disqualified lawmakers Ihavandhoo MP Mohamed Abdulla, Thimarafushi MP Mohamed Musthafa, Hanimaadhoo MP Hussain Shahudhee and Fuvahmulah North MP Ali Shah.
Supreme Court had earlier reinstated Madduvari MP Mohamed Ameeth, Dhihdhoo MP Abdul Latheef Mohamed, Villingili MP Saud Hussain and Thulusdhoo MP Mohamed Waheed Ibrahim.
