Although Fathimath Ahmed provided his resident registry and birth certificate, the civil court noted that the individual did not present any evidence to refute the Ministry’s decision. According to the court’s judgment, the Housing Ministry had determined that the individual failed to meet the necessary criteria for inclusion in the permanent list.

Seeking validation of identity and the restoration of the individual rights, Fathimath Ahmed pursued a civil suit against the ministry.

Yesterday, Judge Faisal Adam of the Civil Court ruled in favor of Fathimath Ahmed, affirming eligibility for the “Binveriya” Scheme. The court ordered the allocation of land to Fathimath Ahmed following the established procedures for land transfer.

Individuals dissatisfied with the court’s decision have the option to appeal the case within the next 30 days.
