Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has launched an investigation into wrongdoings by Criminal Court Judge Hassan Saeed.
JSC stated a case was filed at the commission against Judge Saeed for his actions during a remand hearing at the court. As such, JSC revealed Judge Saeed is being investigated for apparent violations of the Criminal Procedure Act and the relevant criminal procedure regulations during the remand hearing. The commission added a sub-committee has been formed to investigate the case against Judge Saeed.
PSM News understands Judge Saeed is being investigated for granting bail to the Managing Director of Sea Life Global Private Limited Ahmed Moosa, who scammed hundreds of people by taking advanced payments for housing units that were never built. The Criminal Court released Ahmed Moosa on bail on October 20 after assigning two of his siblings as guarantors, to assure Ahmed Moosa will not flee from court.
In addition to this case, Judge Saeed is under JSC investigation in relation to two other complaints.
