This decision was announced when the petition was heard before a three-judge bench of the Supreme Court consisting of Justices Priyantha Jayawardene, Shiran Gunaratne and Achala Vengappuli.
Councilor Sumandhiran had submitted this petition asking for a ruling that the bill has not been legally passed due to the fact that the amendments presented by the Supreme Court were not included in it.
