The Supreme Court today rejected a move by Higher Education Minister S. B. Dissanayake to constitute a Commission to look into the grievances of G.C.E (A/L) students who challenged the application of an alleged erroneous and unjustifiable formula to calculate the Z-Score of candidates of the G.C.E. (Advanced Level) Examination held in August 2011.

The Bench comprising Chief Justice Shirani A. Bandaranayake, Justices N.G. Amaratunga and K. Sripavan refused to allow the motion filed on behalf of the Minister of Higher Education.

The Court noted there was ample time granted for them to arrive at a solution and that the Court reserved the judgment for May 31 and the Respondents were directed to file written submissions before May 28.

Justice Sripavan said the Ministry of Higher Education had no authority to select students to the Universities and it was in the hands of the University Grants Commission and therefore enunciated that such an application could not be made.
 
The Court yesterday reserved its judgment to be delivered before June 30 on the rights petition challenging the application of an alleged erroneous and unjustifiable formula to calculate the Z-Score.

    Dear minister, if you don't remove the idiots (gon harak tika) including your secretary at least by now, you will definitely be ended up in jail again
