The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has concluded its hearings on the case of Supreme Court Justice Mahaz Ali Zahir without taking the testimony of witnesses.
Mahaz submitted three witnesses. But Adhadhu has learnt that the final hearing was concluded today without taking their testimony.
Sources familiar with the matter told Adhadhu that the JSC did not respond when Mahaz tried to clarify whether their testimony had been taken.
At today's hearing, Mahaz requested that the members of the investigative committee and Attorney General (AG) Ahmed Usham not participate in the vote to approve the inquiry report.
Sources said he made the request because there is reason to believe they would have an interest in the case.
Mahaz is accused of influencing Criminal Court judges to release Supreme Court Justice Dr. Azmiralda Zahir's husband, who was arrested during a raid at a spa.
