LETTER | Justice Hamid Sultan – the need for a Royal Commission of Inquiry
A
-
LETTER | We wrote about this matter before the Judges` Ethics Committee (JEC) met and decided to suspend Justice Hamid Sultan Abu Backer (
above) on Feb 4, 2021.
We are disappointed that the JEC had decided to implement the most severe penalty allowed under the Judges` Ethics Committee 2010, Act 703 (the Act).
Considering the importance of the matters raised by Court of Appeal judge Hamid Sultan and the way matters have proceeded to his suspension, we, as responsible members of the civil society, feel it important to raise some of our views on the allegations and the inquiry that was held.
