All through my judicial career I have never seen such an organized multi-court joint statement made by judicial staff. By wearing black, they have expressed dissatisfaction with the recent changes to the pay structure, while at the same time ensuring that it was peaceful and not disruptive.
It is never easy on a public servant to express dissatisfaction publicly; it generally happens when all other avenues have been exhausted and frustration boils over. I hope their concerns will be heard and addressed in good faith.
The value of judicial staff was neatly summarized by Justice Bharati Dangre, with whom I agree, in the recent, Writ Petition No. 396 OF 2024, held at High Court of Bombay at Goa. In her judgement, she wrote “we are of the considered view that for proper and effective functioning of the Courts, it is necessary to have the support of the staff, and which rather constitutes the backbone of the Courts’ functioning and discharging its solemn obligation of dispensation of justice and this staff is also entitled for an appropriate working environment, so as to increase their efficiency and output, which ultimately is going to be beneficial for the administration of justice itself”
Court staff in Maldives wearing black today in protest against Muizzu’s lies.
- In Jan 2025, he promised them salary rises.
- In Nov 2025, they got a 200-500 Rf rise; BUT ALL their allowances are CUT.
- They are also FORCED TO WORK extra hours WITHOUT PAY.

At M. Raiymandhoo School: no principal, no admin staff, and only 7 students. There's no pre-school teacher, and some subjects are taught via Google Meet. O' Level education has never been an option.
Is this the dignified life our children deserve? @MoEdumv@MMuizzu@MP4Dhiggaru
