Sri Lanka's Supreme Court has constituted a seven judge bench to decide upon President’s proclamation to dissolve the parliament.
The bench will comprise Chief Justice Nalin Perera, Buwaneka Aluwihare, Sisira J de Abrew, Priyantha Jayawardena, Prasanna S. Jayawardena, Murdu Fernando and Vijith Kumara Malalgoda.
A three-judge bench of Supreme Court had earlier issued a stay order after several parties including the UNF, TNA, and the JVP filed petitions against the dissolution of parliament.
A Court of Appeal decided to take up on Friday (30) a Writ of Quo Warranto signed by 122 MPs challenging 'purported' Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa's unlawful continuation in office. Rajapksa has already lost two no confidence motions that were passed by a majority of the Members of the House.
