Speaker Karu Jayasuriya yesterday announced that he had received copies of seven petitions filed in the Supreme Court against the Judicature Amendment Bill.

The Bill seeks to create a special permanent High Court-at-Bar which could sit daily to hear serious cases.

Several petitions have been filed against the Bill including Joint Opposition parliamentary group leader Dinesh Gunawardane. Some of the government MPs including Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka, State Ministers Harsha de Silva, Eran Wickramaratne and Ajith P Perera have filed counter petitions in favour of the Bill.

    If the proposed court establish soon!!! That could signal bad news for lots of members of MR regime!!! So all those culprits will be hauled to new courts!! And sentenced to Jail!! However, there's a silver lining!!! Yeah, all those convicts will be housed in the newly built state-of-the-art with luxurious comforts jail in Angunukolapalassa !!!

    Once this bill is approved by voting and the Speaker signs it no one, not even the courts can challenge it.
