The Supreme Court has informed the Election Commission (EC) that its decision to reject the Democratic National Alliance’s (DNA) nomination paper for the Vanni District was not in accordance with the law. The Court also ordered the EC to accept the nomination in question.

The petition was filed by Pararajasingham Udaya Rasa, the party's authorized officer, along with two other candidates. The Chairman and members of the Election Commission, as well as the Vanni District Election Officer, were named as respondents in the case.

The petitioners argued that the District Returning Officer's decision to reject the nomination was unlawful, as all required documents had been duly submitted.
