The Court of Appeal has scheduled further consideration of a writ petition challenging the suspension of Parliament’s Deputy Secretary General and Chief of Staff, Attorney-at-Law Chaminda Kularatne, for tomorrow (3).

The petition was taken up today (2) before a bench comprising Court of Appeal President Justice Rohantha Abeysooriya and Justice Priyantha Fernando.

Following the initial hearing, the bench directed that the petition be taken up again tomorrow to allow further submissions.

President’s Counsel Sanjeewa Jayawardena, appearing on behalf of the petitioner, is expected to present additional arguments when the matter is next taken up.

Accordingly, further consideration of the petition was postponed until November 3.
