The three-judge bench of the Supreme Court unanimously refused to issue a stay order on the interim relief granted by the Court of Appeal in the Quo Warranto case against former President and Fake Prime Minister\u00a0Mahinda Rajapaksa<\/strong><\/a> and his purported government.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

However, the Supreme Court granted leave to proceed and ordered the written submissions to be filed on January 16,17 and 18. Justuce Vijith Malalgoda dissented on granting leave to proceed.<\/p>\n

With the outcome of the case today, former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and his purported government will continue to remain out of office.<\/p>\n

The case was taken up before a three-judge bench comprising Eva Wanasundara, Vijith Malalgoda and Buwaneka Aluwihare.<\/p>\n

“#FakePM now go. Your appeal failed. 3 judge SC bench in unanimous decision rejected interim relief. By 2:1 split decision leave granted; but has no practical meaning. #CoupLK now over,” UNP MP Harsha de Silva tweeted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
