Date:

July 05, Colombo (LNW): A five-judge panel of the Supreme Court, presided over by the Chief Justice, is scheduled to deliberate on a Fundamental Rights petition filed by businessman C.D. Lenawa on Monday (08).

Lenawa’s petition seeks an interim order to postpone the announcement of the presidential election.
