The Supreme Court granted leave to proceed in the case involving former President Mahinda Rajapaksa’s appeal against the interim order issued by the Court of Appeal which barred Rajapaksa from functioning as Prime Minister.
On December 3, the Court of Appeal issued an interim order restraining Rajapaksa and his purported Cabinet from functioning until the hearing of the Writ of Quo Warranto filed against them is concluded.
Rajapaksa and his Cabinet will continue to be restrained from acting in their respective offices until the case is full heard.
The case was heard before a three-judge Supreme Court bench comprising justices Eva Wanasundera, Buwaneka Aluvihare and Vijith Malalgoda today.
