First hearing for case requesting to annul parliament resolution, scheduled for tomorrow

The Supreme Court has scheduled the first hearing for the case requesting to annul a resolution passed by the parliament, for tomorrow.

The resolution in question states that the Speaker of Parliament shall assume presidential powers in the event that there is no elected president by 11 November.

The hearing for the case, filed by lawyer Mohamed Waheed Ibrahim, has been scheduled for 3:30 p.m. tomorrow.

Waheed has alleged that the resolution was passed by the parliament in violation of the Constitution and Supreme Court rulings, and thus asked the court for its annulment.
