In the wake of the Cabinet approving the postponement of the provincial council elections, the joint opposition yesterday informed the Election Commission Chairman Mahinda Deshapriya in writing that legal action would be taken if the elections were not conducted on time.

Former minister G.L. Peiris said he had retained Romesh de Silva PC to represent him in Court with regard to this matter and informed through his lawyers, that the three PCs would stand dissolved by September/October in terms of Article 154 E of the Constitution (Kelum Bandara)
