The Court of Appeal has issued an interim order preventing the holding of elections for 19 Pradeshiya Sabhas in the Jaffna District after studying 19 separate petitions put forward by UPFA General Secretary Susil Premajayantha.
The petitions were put forward after UPFA nominations papers were rejected for these 19 Pradeshiya Sabhas as certain flaws in the translation of the party name into Tamil.
Meanwhile, another interim order was given preventing the holding of elections in the Yatinuwara Pradeshiya Sabha, Kandy on March 17.
