The Lawyers Collective, a group of dissenting lawyers said they would challenge any new appointment in the Supreme Court seeking a Quo warranto (by what warrant/authority) writ against it.
President’s Counsel Jayampathi Wickremaratne told reporters that the executive and legislature had ignored a constitutional interpretation of the Supreme Court in the impeachment process of Chief Justice Shirani Bandaranayake.
Reports said Bandaranayake would attend court Tuesday.
Bandaranayake was impeached by parliament by a process which was declared to be against the constitution. Sri Lanka opposition parties have also accepted the ruling.
