A motion has been filed in the Supreme Court today by a lawyer against the request made by President Maithripala Sirisena asking the Chief Justice to expedite the court ruling on the dissolution of parliament.

In his motion, the lawyer said such requests undermined the hearing of the case. Therefore, he requested the Supreme Court to issue a ruling after considering the motion.

President Maithripala Sirisena said yesterday he would request the Chief Justice through the Attorney General to deliver the order on the dissolution of parliament without further delay. (Thilini De Silva and Ranjan Katugampola)

    HURRAY ! HURRAY!

    Motions Tuesday, 11 December 2018 06:06 PM

    Just because the rulers are having loose motions there is no need to hurry a just verdict being given.

    concern Tuesday, 11 December 2018 07:00 PM

    The delay is due to complexity of our constitution. Even our highest courts unable to announce the verdict. But some of our politicians and supporters have already announced the verdict. What a joke.

    Kumara Dharmarathne Tuesday, 11 December 2018 03:30 PM

    Mr.President, you have already got into enough of troubles by listening to people like Wimal and again you are requesting SC to expedite a ruling which is considered undermining and interfering the Judiciary. Without doing this you have other options to use for and why don't you go for that.

    elmi Tuesday, 11 December 2018 03:32 PM

    President- I think you had better be tough now with these jokers who are going to court for everything, this lawyer and some woman too

    Lawry Tuesday, 11 December 2018 04:23 PM

    Yes you have to be a bus conductor, start the bus before people get down.

    Lion Tuesday, 11 December 2018 04:07 PM

    Is there a way all Sri Lankana or who ever opposes MS can sign a petition and it can be used to impeach this MS I am sure all those who voted for him are against now.

    max Tuesday, 11 December 2018 04:23 PM

    Such a bunch of pall-forbia UNPers.

    Elizabeth Tuesday, 11 December 2018 06:15 PM

    What the hell is pall-forbia? Who are UNpers? Did you study with Sirisena?

    Citizen Tuesday, 11 December 2018 04:25 PM

    Our beautiful country and everything top to bottom has become a laughing stock! All senior politicians must take the blame irrespective of colours. You jokers are destroying the country!!

    Preethie Tuesday, 11 December 2018 04:25 PM

    The country is seeking judicial intervention to this crisis due to one man's unconstitutional action.Here the same man is asking the judiciary to expedite the matter as if it has been done by another.

    STATE OF MIND Tuesday, 11 December 2018 06:30 PM

    Why not Sira ask those responsible to expediet case concerning Thajudeen, Sunday leader editor, the missing reporter , erc etc.

    Citizen Silva Tuesday, 11 December 2018 04:29 PM

    Our beautiful country has become a laughing stock globally. Every system in Sri Lanka seems to be out of order. You jokers senior politicians irrespective of party colours are destroying the country! None of you guys really love love the country!

    Saman Tuesday, 11 December 2018 04:38 PM

    Its Getting more and more hilarious day by day! Go on Prez. boy!

    Keeraipidi Tuesday, 11 December 2018 04:47 PM

    The President has to be updated about democracy and the independent judiciary. Can he not think at all anymore?

    Chari Tuesday, 11 December 2018 05:18 PM

    Country needs to go on. Hence an early decision is desirable. Beyond December...can the Country run....

    Premalal Tuesday, 11 December 2018 05:34 PM

    It takes only an instant to create a mess but a long time to correct it.

    Virekus Badamarus Tuesday, 11 December 2018 05:42 PM

    This is a joke. This silly lawyer is taking the system for a joke by filing a case like this. There's another to see if the president is of unsound mind.What people need is a general election like a virekaya to eliminate all problems; not case after case.

    Wise Donkey Tuesday, 11 December 2018 05:58 PM

    President or GL P should not make any public announcement on the jurisdiction "I know the law "

    Martin Milton Tuesday, 11 December 2018 07:10 PM

    I totally agree with HE The President. Why should there be this inordinate delay in sitting down and doing one's homework with the idea of issuing a judgement as soon as possible. Does it take that long to do one's background work and deliver the judgement? It certainly could be done within a total of ONE WEEK IF the Judges wanted to do it. This manner of procrastination has been the true bane of the Court system in Sri Lanka. I wish the SC would 'get a move on..' ! Time is of the essence and the people are still waiting for their decision. MM

    Haste makes waste

    bert Tuesday, 11 December 2018 08:12 PM

    If time is of the essence president himself must correct the constitution he knowingly violated. Parliament must bring a resolution to prosecute this SOB. Country is in complete chaos because of him and murderous rajapaksa gang. Ven Sobitha Thera can’t you see whats happening .

    Gamaya Tuesday, 11 December 2018 09:32 PM

    The President has no right to ask the juciary to expedite a jundgement. This is presurring the judiciary to make hasty decisions .
