The Court of Appeal today (3) issued an interim injunction preventing the implementation of the Commissioner General of Buddhist Affairs’ decision to appoint S.V. Chandrasinghe as the temporary chief custodian of the Sabaragamuwa Maha Saman Devalaya in Ratnapura.

Additionally, the court issued an injunction barring Chandrasinghe from casting his vote in the election for the Basnayake Nilame of the devalaya, scheduled for 11 February.

The order was issued after considering a petition filed by former Basnayake Nilame of the devalaya, Migara Jayasundara, along with the President of the Forum of Basnayake Nilames, Hemantha Bandara, and its Secretary, Priyantha Bandara Jayasundara.
