Mohan Peiris sitting as Chief Justice at the Supreme Court today stated that he would not sit on the bench hearing the petition filed by Minister Rishard Bathiudeen, against the contempt of court proceedings on him.
The Minister petitioned the Supreme Court after a case was filed against him for alleged threat and intimidation of the Mannar Magistrate.
The case was postponed to March 18 in order to relist the bench.
