The Court of Appeal has scheduled June 26th to consider a petition seeking to invalidate the parliamentary membership of MP Ramanathan Archchuna.
The petition was presented before a panel of Appeal Court Justices Mayadunne Corea and Mahen Gopallawa today (May 14). The court subsequently ordered the petition to be taken up for factual consideration on June 26th.
Meanwhile, reliable sources have informed InfoSriLanka.lk that Mr. Ramanathan Archchuna is reportedly preparing to step down from his parliamentary post before June 26th.
The petition argues that Dr. Ramanathan Archchuna, being a state official attached to the Ministry of Health, holds a contract with the government and is therefore ineligible to hold a parliamentary seat.
