The Court of Appeal has lifted the interim injunction that prevented the local government elections for 18 local authorities, including the Colombo Municipal Council, from being held on May 6.
The decision was made by a bench comprising Acting President of the Court of Appeal, Mohamed Laffar Thahir, and Judge Priyantha Fernando, following a motion submitted by the Attorney General.
The court also issued an order to accept the previously rejected nomination papers for these local authorities.
