The full verdict would explain the reasons for the judges’ decision to dismiss the writ petition.
One of the petitioners, activist Gamini Viyangoda said his lawyers had informed him that the Court of Appeal was expected to explain its decision on Tuesday (15).
Viyangoda and activist Chandragupta Thenuwara filed the case against Rajapaksa’s citizenship, but the case was dismissed by the Court of Appeal.
Viyangoda and Thenuwara have already said they will look to appeal the verdict after perusing the reasons for the initial dismissal of the case by the Court of Appeal.
The two petitioners were confident that they had a valid case against Rajapaksa and his citizenship.
The two petitioners who filed the case against the SLPP presidential candidate have claimed they have received death threats and threatening phone calls and have lodged a complaint at the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) over the death threats that had been directed at them online through social media platforms since the dismissal of the petition by the Court of Appeal on October 4th.
