(LK time)Sunil Watagala, Deputy Minister of Public Security for Sri Lanka, declared the government intention to start impeachment procedures against Nissanka Bandula Karunaratne, President of the Court of Appeal.
Watagala verified the gathering of the required signatures for the impeachment motion.
Further action will be decided, he said, depending on an inquiry into allegations that Judge Karunaratne might resign before his planned retirement in few days.
The impeachment process will only start should Judge Karunaratne not follow expected retirement schedule.
