Shortly after the ruling the police announced on Twitter that they were satisfied with the legality of the ruling and would enforce it.

However, the police commissioner Ahmed Areef was then dismissed by Attorney General Mohamed Anil at a hastily convened late-night press conference.

Attorney General Anil said Ahmed Areef had been sacked because he was uncontactable following the court order. Local media reported that he also said the president was "disheartened" by the police commissioner's decision to enforce the ruling.

The attorney general said the government was reviewing the court order.
