The Supreme Court of Sri Lanka has dismissed two fundamental rights petitions that contested the emergency regulations imposed following the Cyclone Ditwah disaster, declining to hear the cases.
The petitions had alleged that the emergency measures introduced by President Anura Kumara Dissanayake infringed upon citizens’ fundamental rights. However, the court ruled that the applications would not proceed to a formal hearing.
The decision was issued by a three-judge bench led by Chief Justice Priyantha Surasena.
With this ruling, the legal challenge against the emergency regulations has been dismissed at the preliminary stage, allowing the measures to remain in effect without further judicial review in this matter.
