Retried SC Judge EVa Wanasundera’s name not proposed to CC for CJ post, Speaker

News

President Maithripala Sirisena did not send retired Supreme Court Judge Eva Wanasundera’s name to the Constitutional Council (CC) to be considered for the post of Chief Justice, Constitutional Council Chairman and Speaker Karu Jayasuriya told Parliament today.

The Speaker made this disclosure in response to the allegation by UPFA MP Wimal Weerawansa that the CC did not approve the President’s nominee Justice Wanasundera to the post of CJ.

“Her name was not sent to the CC. Do not make unsubstantiated claims,” the Speaker told the UPFA MP while dismissing the allegations.

The CC approved the President’s nomination of Justice Nalin Perera for the post of Chief Justice on October 12 last year.
