The District Court of Kesbewa has extended the enjoining orders previously issued against Amith Weerasinghe in a case concerning the internal administration of the recognised political party, the New Independent Front (Abhinava Nidahas Peramuna).
The case was instituted by the Chairman of the party, Oshala Herath, to restrain the convening of Executive Committee meetings contrary to the party Constitution, and prohibit Amith Weerasinghe from representing himself as the leader of the party or otherwise misleading the public in that regard.
When the matter was taken up today (13), Amith Weerasinghe and several other Defendants were present in Court and were represented by counsel.
Submissions were made on their behalf opposing the extension of the enjoining orders previously issued by the Court. However, the Court declined to vacate the orders and extended them until 27th March 2026.
Counsel appearing for the Plaintiff were Mr. Naveen Maha Arachchige and Ms. Kethmini Hasara, instructed by Attorney-at-Law Saduni Poornima Rathnayake. (Newswire)
