The Court of Appeal has decided to hear the writ petition filed over Diana Gamage’s citizenship issue before a fresh bench.
The writ petition filed requesting to issue an order to abolish the Parliamentary seat of the State Minister is to be heard on September 14.
The petition will be heard before a Court of Appeal 3-judge-bench after the court today delivered a split verdict regarding the petition.
The writ petition challenging State Minister of Tourism Diana Gamage’s citizenship and right to hold a Parliamentary seat was filed by civil activist Oshala Herath.
The petition seeks a ruling that Diana Gamage was unqualified to serve as a Member of the Sri Lankan Parliament due to her British citizenship. (NewsWire)
