Supreme Court, on Tuesday, is announcing the verdicts regarding the dismissal of the remaining four lawmakers.
The court has scheduled hearings regarding the dismissal of Thimarafushi MP Mohamed Musthafa, Ihavandhoo MP Mohamed Abdulla, Hanimaadhoo MP Hussain Shahudhee and Fuvahmulah North MP Ali Shah for Tuesday's session.
Chief Justice Dr Ahmed Abdulla Didi, along with a five-judge bench, will be presiding over the cases of the disqualified lawmakers.
The Elections Commission (EC) had declared 12 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.
Supreme Court had earlier reinstated Madduvari MP Mohamed Ameeth, Dhihdhoo MP Abdul Latheef Mohamed, Villingili MP Saud Hussain, Thulusdhoo MP Mohamed Waheed Ibrahim, Thinadhoo South MP Abdulla Ahmed, Mahchangolhi South MP Abdulla Sinan, Dhangethi MP Ilham Ahmed and Thinadhoo North Saudulla Hilmee out of the 12 unseated lawmakers at the parliament.
