All 122 members of parliament that supported the no-confidence motions against 'purported' prime minister Mahinda Rajapaksa have filed a Writ of Quo Warranto in the Court of Appeal challenging the 'purported' government’s illegal continuation in office.
The MPs have requested the Court of Appeal to issue a writ declaring that Mahinda Rajapaksa and the purported Ministers and Deputy Ministers have no authority to hold government offices following two successful no-confidence motions in Parliament.
In November last year, the Supreme Court upheld the Court of Appeal judgment dated May 3, 2017 and its order in the nature of a Writ of Quo Warranto declaring that MP Geetha Kumarasinghe is disqualified to be a Member of Parliament and not entitled to hold office as an MP as she held dual citizenship.
