The Vice President of the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) Yazmeed Mohamed has resigned.

Yazmeed was appointed as a member of the JSC as President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu's representative on the commission on 23rd February 2025.

He was appointed to the position after President Dr. Mohamed Muizzu's representative on the commission Mohamed Sameer was dismissed. The President made this change during JSC's investigation into a case regarding three Supreme Court judges.
