June 18, Colombo (LNW): The Speaker of Parliament has disclosed the Supreme Court’s verdict on the proposed ‘Sri Lanka Telecommunications (Amendment) Bill’.
The Supreme Court has found several clauses of the Bill to be in conflict with the Constitution.
Consequently, these clauses will necessitate a special majority in Parliament for approval.
However, the Court indicated that if the contentious clauses are amended, they could pass with a simple majority.
