SC sets trial date for Maumoon's case against MTCC over DRP debt liability

The Supreme Court has scheduled a trial date in the case filed by former President and Dhivehi Rayyithunge Party (DRP)'s founder Maumoon Abdul Qayyoom, challenging Maldives Transport and Contracting Company (MTCC)'s claim to hold him liable for debts incurred at the time of the party's dissolution.

MTCC initially filed the complaint against Maumoon as the then president of the party, to recover MVR 1.1 million owed by DRP. However, the Civil Court ruled in Maumoon's favour.
