On February 6, 2018, Chief Justice Abdulla Saeed. alongside Justice Ali Hameed, was arrested under a state of emergency after being accused of trying to overthrow the government.[1]
On May 8, 2018 he was found guilty of trying to obstruct state functions, being accused of ordering the suspension of the government’s e-letter management system (GEMS) to block the delivery of three letters.[2] He lost his seat on the bench after Supreme Court rejected his appeal on June 20, 2018.[3]
