Embattled Mahinda Rajapaksa on Tuesday filed an appeal in Sri Lanka’s Supreme Court against a court order that barred him from acting as Prime Minister.
The Court of Appeal in an interim order Monday temporary halted Rajapaksa and his Cabinet from functioning in their positions in response to a case filed by 122 legislators against his disputed government. The court set the hearing of the case for December 12 and 13.
MP Gamini Lokuge said the appeal was filed in the Supreme Court against the interim order issued by the Court of Appeal, Daily Mirror reported.
