The hearing of the writ petition filed by 122 MPs seeking the Court of Appeal (CA) to direct Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa to show by which authority he holds his current office, commenced a short while ago.

This Quo Warranto petition was filed by the MPs challenging the legality of Mr. Rajapaksa’s Premiership and the new Cabinet.
