The Supreme Court today (04) refused to grant leave to proceed with the five petitions filed against the Yugadanavi powerplant deal.
FR petitions were filed by Ven. Elle Gunawanse Thera, Archbishop of Colombo Malcolm Cardinal Ranjith, the Samagi Jana Balawegaya party, Government Ministers Wimal Weearwansa, Udaya Gammanpila, and Vasudeva Nanayakkara.
The petitioners challenged the Cabinet decision to transfer 40 percent of shares of the Yugadanavi Power Plant in Kerawalapitiya, to the US-based company, New Fortress Energy, adding that Finance Minister Basil Rajapksa had not presented a Cabinet paper on the matter.
