Two additional intervening petitions have been submitted to the Supreme Court in support of the Government’s 22nd Amendment to the Constitution Bill, which has been presented to Parliament.
One petition was filed by leader of the New Sinhala Heritage, Sarath Manamendra, while the other was submitted by K. Sarath Lal Perera, General Secretary of the National Organization for the Protection of Retired Rights.
The petitions state that the Bill has been presented in a lawful manner and request the Court to rule that it can be passed without the need for a referendum. (Newswire)
