One petition was submitted by Mr. Niroshan Padukka of Samagi Jana Balawega (SJB), and another petition was submitted by Professor Mrs. Savitri Goonesekere.
Members of the Constituent Assembly, the Attorney General, Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshbandu Tennakoon, and others have been named as respondents to the petitions.
