Inspector General of Police Pujith Jayasundara in a Fundamental Rights Petition filed before the Supreme Court today pleaded for an interim order preventing the President from dismissing him from office.

The Petition said that the order by the President to send Jayasundara on compulsory leave had violated his Fundamental Rights. The Petition urged the suspension of the order made by the President to send IGP Jayasundara on compulsory leave.

The Petition named the Acting IGP, members of the Constitutional Council, the Prime Minister and the Attorney General as respondents. (Thilini de Silva and Ranjan Katugapola)

Let the courts decided whether he (OR the grama sayveka) is guilty. Until such time we don't have the right to give our two cents worth

He could have been dealt with legal procedure. no one can take power into their hand for own political agenda. Hope the court will do its job properly.
