Former Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum and former Supervisor of Elections Mohammed Saneem’s case will be called again next Tuesday before Magistrate Yogesh Prasad.
The case was called yesterday afternoon for formalization, as Magistrate Prasad is unavailable in court.
Acting Director of Public Prosecution Nancy Tikoisuva informed the court about the application. This is to consolidate the charge and Saneem’s application to strike out the charge against him.
Magistrate Boseiwaqa said Magistrate Prasad will decide on the application.
Sayed-Khaiyum faces charges of abuse of office and receiving a corrupt benefit.
He allegedly authorized the government to pay taxes for Saneem without the required approval from the Constitutional Offices Commission and the President.
