TNA Parliamentarians today complained to the Supreme Court that the forcible registration of the residents in the North by the Security Forces is continuing despite the undertaking given to the Court to suspend it immediately.

Attorney General on March 3 gave an undertaking to the Supreme Court to suspend immediately the impugned forced registration of residents of Jaffna and Kilinochchi districts by the Security Forces.

Deputy Solicitor General Buwaneka Aluvihare appearing for the Attorney General appearing for the Attorney General gave this undertaking sequent to the rights violation petition filed by TNA Parliamentarians.

In the circumstances, the Petitioners had withdrawn their petition and the Bench comprising Justices N.G.Amaratunga, P.A.Ratnayake and Chandra Ekanayke terminated the proceedings.

Jaffna district Parliamentarians Mavai Senathirajah, Suresh Premachandran, Appathurai Vinayagamoorthy and Eswarapatham Saravanapavan as well as the Kilinochchi district Parliamentarian Sivagnanam Shritharan filed their petition seeking the termination of the impugned forced registration.

They alleged the continuing registrations contravenes the undertaking given by the State and is, in the circumstances, an act of Contempt of Court. (S.S.Selvanayagam)
