The Supreme Court of the Maldives is the highest court of the Maldives.
Notable rulings
Four members of the country's Election Commission were set to spend six months in jail for 'disobeying orders'. Amid the state of emergency declared by President Abdulla Yameen, the Supreme Court's operations have been suspended, leaving the judiciary without anyone in charge. A court official subsequently verified that state security forces had forcibly entered the building, effectively confining the judges inside and preventing them from leaving. Additionally, during this tense situation, the Chief Justice of Maldives was arrested.
