Mahinda to file appeal with Supreme Court against interim order
December 3, 2018 07:49 pm
Mahinda Rajapaksa says that they will file an appeal before the Supreme Court against the interim order issued today by the Appeals Court as they do not agree with it.
The Court of Appeal today issued an interim order preventing Mahinda Rajapaksa and his cabinet from holding office.
This was after the court decided to proceed with hearing a Writ of Quo Warranto petition signed by 122 legislators that challenges Rajapaksa’s authority to hold office after he lost two no-confidence votes last month.
The judge issued the interim order against Rajapaksa and his cabinet, and asked them to appear in court on Dec. 12 to explain on what basis they hold office.
However, issuing a press release today, Mahinda Rajapaksa said that they do not agree with the interim order issued by the Court of Appeal.
He said that they are currently working on an appeal which will be filed against it with the Supreme Court at the earliest tomorrow morning (4).
