⚖️ FR Petition Filed Over Unexamined 22nd Amendment Challenge

• Key Allegations: A Fundamental Rights (FR) petition has been submitted to the Supreme Court by Dulara Gunathilake (Convenor, Union of National Organisations) and Shantha Jayathilake (Retired Sri Lanka Air Force Officer). The petitioners claim their fundamental rights were violated after a previously filed petition challenging the 22nd Amendment Bill was allegedly not called for examination in open Court. • Interim Relief Requested: The petitioners have urged the Supreme Court to issue an interim order to block its determination regarding the 22nd Amendment Bill from being communicated to the Speaker of Parliament until this new FR petition is fully heard and judged. • Context: Constitutional amendments directly impact governance structures, policy stability, and legal frameworks, which are essential for maintaining investor confidence and long-term economic stability in Sri Lanka.
