Colombo (News 1st); The Supreme Court can only provide a determination on the constitutionality of an act and not whether it good or bad for the country, said Attorney-at-Law Harshana Nanayakkara for Lawyers for Democracy on Sunday (18).
Some 14 petitions have been filed with the Supreme Court challenging the Colombo Port City Economic Commission Bill.
“The Supreme Court will only give a determination on the constitutionality of a matter and we appoint governments to decide on what is good and bad,” he added.
The passage of the Port City Economic Commission Bill will pave the way for a ‘Two States – Two Laws’ concept, warned Attorney-at-Law Harshana Nanayakkara.
