This is a stupid decision.
This idiot is the person who argued in court that President Pallewatte Gamaralalage Maithripala Yapa Sirisena is entitled to be President for 6 years. Again, he argued in the SC that President Pallewatte Gamaralalage Maithripala Yapa Sirisena’s scaking of RW and dissolution of Parliament was valid under the constitution.
Both arguements were rejected unanimously by the SC.
This is a poor choice; this person is not an honest person.
