The High Court has today decided to hold closed hearings in the appeal case against the Family Court hearings asking Ahmed Sharuan from Kanmatheege in Seenu Atoll Maradhoo to return his five month baby to the mother.
While the Constitution’s Article 42 (b) states that court hearings must be open to public, courts of law are allowed to hold closed hearings under special circumstances as seen fit by the judges.
Family Court previously ordered Sharuan to return the baby to the mother, and on his failure to comply, ordered police to search for him.
The search has since been called off following the High Court releasing a temporary injunction asking to halt implementation of the Family Court order.
