As many as 122 Sri Lankan lawmakers on Friday challenged former President Mahinda Rajapaksa at the court of appeal, asking on whose authority he occupied the office of the Prime Minister, after being voted out in the legislature, The Hindu reported.

The case is likely to be heard early next week, legal sources told The Hindu.

The MPs, who filed the Quo Warranto petition challenging Mr. Rajapaksa, his purported Cabinet and government, earlier disputed his controversial appointment as Prime Minister in the legislature.

    If MR is right he should go to court and ask for Temple Trees. He is not willing to do that as he knows that he can't win the case. Then he will have to hand over the PM office to RW

    This is my persomal opinion, its a big dissgrace for the Sri lanlan parliment today, if you jave read todays paper The Times, MR is so hungry for power, he"s even planning on a Acid attack on the poor Speaker, that low he has brought this country to, which MS doesnt understand the gravity and the consiquences, the MR clan is llannong on a bigger attack next week, the most unfortunate thing is, at present every thing belongs to MR and MS.
