Police Minister Nkosinathi Nhleko's decision to suspend Hawks boss Anwa Dramat was invalid, the High Court in Pretoria ruled on Friday.

Judge Bill Prinsloo has set aside Nhleko's decision.

Dramat was suspended on December 23, apparently pending a probe into his alleged involvement in the illegal rendition of four Zimbabweans in November 2010.
