The verdict....
December 13, 2018
The Sri Lankan Supreme Court on Thursday ruled as “unconstitutional” President Maithripala Sirisena’s decision to dissolve Parliament and conduct a snap parliamentary election in early January.
A seven-judge bench, headed by Chief Justice Nalin Perera, said that the President could not dissolve Parliament till it was four-and-a-half years through its five-year term and that if he wanted to dissolve Parliament, there must be a resolution with a two thirds majority.
