සංවිධානාත්මක අපරාධ වැළැක්වීමේ පනත් කෙටුම්පතට එරෙහිව පෙත්සම් 26ක්

This story is no longer in the live feed. First reported .

Daily Mirror and Ada Derana report that the Supreme Court began hearing arguments on petitions concerning the proposed Prevention of Organised Crimes Bill. Daily Mirror says the filings were Special Determination petitions and that 26 had been filed by the time of the hearing.

Daily Mirror reports that counsel for petitioners raised concerns about the bill’s detention provisions. Daily Mirror also reports that President’s Counsel Romesh de Silva argued that the proposed measure would diminish judicial powers.

WhatNews (සිංහල) reports that de Silva said the drafting circumstances gave the impression that someone had misled the president or government. The outlet’s report does not identify who he suggested was responsible.

Newswire reports that six more petitions were filed, bringing the total to 26. Newswire and Ada Derana report an earlier figure of 20 petitions, while Ada Derana (தமிழ்) reports that Deputy Speaker Rizvi Salih received copies of those 20 filings.
