Constitution mandates to create a new judiciary – President

Friday, July 30th, 2010

Constitution mandates to establish a new judiciary, President Nasheed has said speaking at an MDP rally held on 28 July 2010.

President also noted that the new judiciary is still not created and that is creating problems for the executive as well.

President also noted that the main feature of the new constitution was separation of powers and that the Executive and the Legislature which has to be elected are already in office. There are articles which mandate the judiciary to renew itself as well, President Nasheed noted.

However, reappointment of judiciary is slow, and that Supreme Court and lower courts are still not enacted although deadline for it is just a week away, President noted.

President Nasheed also noted that before judges could be made permanent JSC should analyze if judges meet the criteria set by the constitution and that it has to be done as per a necessary Law by the parliament.

President Nasheed also noted that the Supreme Court judges are still not appointed despite sending a bill to parliament on the matter. According to President, nominations for the post could only be sent with the adoption of that law by the parliament.
