The court order barring the dismissal of Minister Nimal Siripala De Silva from all titles constituted by the Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) has been extended till the day after tomorrow.
The extension on the enjoining order was made as the petition filed by the Minister was taken up before the Colombo District Court today (20).
SLFP Chairman Maithripala Sirisena had announced that Silva will be dismissed from all Party titles due to his conduct of acting beyond the Party protocol and accepting a ministry in the government and the Minister had filed a petition in the Colombo District Court challenging the decision.
The petition was taken up before Colombo District Judge Purnima Paranagama and she ordered that the enjoining order barring Silva’s dismissal be extended till June 22.
Lawyers appearing for the respondents including Sirisena told the Court that discussions would be held with the petitioner to settle the case and that they will oppose the extension should the petitioner does not agree to come to such a settlement.
