An impeachment resolution against Justice Nissanka Bandula Karunaratne, the current President of the Court of Appeal, has been signed by 118 Members of Parliament (MPs), according to Attorney-at-Law Sunil Watagala, Deputy Minister of Public Security.
Additionally, it has been reported that the Samagi Jana Balawegaya party has promised to support the proposal.
This proposal comes after Justice Karunaratne’s case in a fundamental rights case was heard by the Supreme Court on December 12.
Judge Karunaratne was previously nominated under Ranil Wickremesinghe for the position of Supreme Court Judge. However, citing the majority vote of its members, the Constitutional Council denied the application.
