The motion has been forwarded through her lawyers Neelakandan & Nellakandan.
The Court of Appeal has given a correct verdict regarding her petition and she need not go before the Supreme Court regarding the petition against this decision she had noted in her motion.
The head of the panel of nine judges Shirani Tillekewardene said the motion too would be considered on 11th June as hearing of the petitions were put off due to the retirement of Justice S.I. Imam.

logoAll petitions that were to be heard in the Supreme Court have been put off to 11th June. The petitions were to be heard before a panel of nine judges. However, the hearing had to be postponed as one of the judges had retired from service.  Ms. Shirani Thilakawardene was the head of the panel of judges today.
Meanwhile, Mr. Vijitha Herath, who participated in the hearing on behalf of the JVP, said the government, in an attempt to get the verdicts given earlier with regard to the impeachment changed to its advantage, has appointed the panel of nine judges.  He said the process is illegal and undemocratic and added that his party would mediate to defeat the sinister motive of the government.
