122 Parliamentarians challenge Rajapaksa in Court

(UTV|COLOMBO) – As many as 122 Sri Lankan lawmakers on Friday (23) challenged former President Mahinda Rajapaksa at the Court of Appeal, asking on whose authority he occupied the Office of the Prime Minister, after being voted out in the legislature, The Hindu reported.

The case is likely to be heard early next week, legal sources told The Hindu.

The Parliamentarians, who filed the Quo Warranto petition challenging Rajapaksa, his purported Cabinet and Government, earlier disputed his controversial appointment as Prime Minister in the legislature.
