The petition filed against former UPFA General Secretary Susil Premajayantha and former SLFP General Secretary Anura Priyadarshana Yapa were dismissed today by Colombo District Court Judge Harsha Setunge.

The Judge dismissed the petition considering requests made by the plaintiffs Duminda Dissanayake and Prof. Vishwa Warnapala.

The plaintiffs informed the District Court that they were not obstructed in their duties as the General Secretaries of the UPFA and the SLFP. They had earlier obtained an injunction order against Premajayantha and Yapa preventing them functioning as UPFA and SLFP General Secretaries.

The plaintiffs also informed the court that Premajayantha has already tendered his resignation as UPFA General Secretary. A copy of the letter of resignation was submitted as proof.
