The Supreme Court in a landmark judgment today determined that the Sri Lanka Muslim Congress' decision to expel Minister Naseer Ahamad from the party membership is legally valid.
With this Supreme Court judgment, Naseer Ahamad's expulsion will lead to the loss of his parliamentary seat.
The Supreme Court three-judge-bench bench headed by Justice Preethi Padman Surasena observed that there is no reason to interfere with the decision of the party to expel petitioner Naseer Ahamad from party membership.
The application of the petitioner was dismissed accordingly without costs.
The SLMC decided to expel Environment Minister Naseer Ahamad following his decision to vote in favour of the budget at the Third Reading on December 10, 2021.
The High Command of the SLMC had unanimously resolved to expel the petitioner from party membership.
Sanjeeva Jayawardena PC with Ruwantha Cooray, Rukshan Senadheera and Punyajith Dunusinghe appeared for the petitioner.
M.A. Sumanthiran PC with Viran Corea, Anne Kulanayagam and Divya Mascranghe appeared for the SLMC. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)

Finally an excellent verdict by SC. Time for other parties to do the same. This will at least stop frogs from going to parliament.
Jayaratne Friday, 06 October 2023 12:50 PM
So he should give up his parliamentary seat. Isn't that so? Harin and Manusha get ready!
This is reality Friday, 06 October 2023 01:03 PM
Landmark decision indeed! Now several others will be wetting their pants. Justice to the voters.

That's great news. A good lesson for most of the MPs who go against party policies and vote for money due to their greediness.
Mandayan Friday, 06 October 2023 01:09 PM
This guy talks a lot but delivers nothing.
Ram Friday, 06 October 2023 01:43 PM
This is an eye opener for those MPs who can be bought over for big money. I wish if SC rules in some matter that once elected the electee must draw the party line unless the party has given the freedom otherwise.

Very good decision and this stupid guy should be chased out of parliament. Let him go and do his environmental work in his native home town and take some rest. at any cost, this stupid fellow must be chased from his village also.

At last, the Judiciary is opening its eyes. It is time all the political parties use this decision and kick out from the Parliament all those "monkey politicians" who came into the Parliament from one party and jumped on to another.
Bandu Friday, 06 October 2023 07:07 PM
It is an affront to those who voted for the party to have members crossing over. The precedent was due Sarath N Silva who apologized for his verdicts like hambantota. Totally immoral to crossover.
Cherath Friday, 06 October 2023 08:05 PM
Harin and Manusha - time to wet your pants! Also the other fruit bats who abandoned the party line from SLFP. These traitors know there are better, sincere and able people among the general population.

Big hypocrite who sold the interest of the community for bribe...

A good verdict in the circumstances. The judicial system has a bigger role to play in rescuing this country from rogue and unscrupulous and corrupt politicians.
Raj M Friday, 06 October 2023 08:50 PM
Finally some good news, this guy is obnoxious and a racist who talks over and bully people through his conduct. Individuals like this should never represent a decent society.
Kumara Ilangasinghe Friday, 06 October 2023 09:16 PM
After a long time justice for the suffering people of this country. Time to get rid of all the greedy frogs jumping political parties for money. Respect for the Judiciary.
Ahamed Friday, 06 October 2023 09:53 PM
Other parties to follow the same for any crossover
Sivaponniah Friday, 06 October 2023 10:00 PM
Well done Judges for this landmark verdict. A useless rogue who is greedy of money and positions always.
Lanka Friday, 06 October 2023 10:34 PM

Hassanda Friday, 06 October 2023 10:38 PM

Justice for the voters who were taken for a ride in the name of serving the nation, when it was all about serving bloated egos! Let there be more hot water!
