However the source said Dr. Bandaranayake would not preside over the bench as scheduled, “in order to preserve the integrity of the Judiciary.”
The Lawyers of Dr. Bandaranayake said she would not accept the legality of the order, and would continue to fight the illegal order not relenting to pressure in pursuit of justice.
