Civil Court Judge Al-Ustaz Abdullah Ihsan has resigned from his position, with the resignation taking effect from 21 October 2026, according to the Judicial Service Commission.
The commission stated that the judge submitted his resignation to the commission on that date and that he is no longer serving in the role. The move follows reports of a sexual harassment allegation directed at the judge.
Details of the allegation and any formal investigation have not been publicly elaborated by the commission. The resignation removes the judge from the bench while any related processes continue.
Judicial resignations of this nature are relatively uncommon and draw attention to procedures for handling complaints against members of the judiciary. The commission is responsible for overseeing judicial conduct and appointments.
No further statement on the substance of the complaint or subsequent steps has been issued at this stage.
