Despite the allegations of mishandling some cases against former Prosecutor General (PG) Hussain Shameem during his dismissal from office, there are no plans to initiate reviews into Shameem's work, said newly appointed PG Abbas Shareef.

Shameem was removed from office on August 22 with 65 parliamentary votes. The petition to dismiss Shameem on grounds of no confidence was proposed by MP of Hulhudhoo constituency Mohamed Shahid.
