Bar Council of Maldives have postponed the first ever bar exam in the country to November, after reiterating multiple times that there was no reason to delay the exam.
In a press release by the council a couple of days ago, the council said that the bar exams required under the Legal Profession Act could not be postponed due to a lot of financial and administrative work done over the past three years to hold the exam.
