Employment Tribunal has ordered Aminath Dhiye, 59, to be reinstated to her previous job.

Aminath Dhiye - who worked as a caretaker at Sharafuddin School - was arrested over sexual abuse charges against a child but Prosecutor General's Office has since dropped the charges over lack of evidence.

Aminath Dhiye was suspended indefinitely from her job following her arrest.

She had appealed to the Tribunal for compensation for her period of suspension, and to have her reinstated to her job.

The Tribunal investigated and ordered Civil Service Commission to reinstate her to her old job and to pay her salaries and allowances for the months she spent under suspension.
