A court order has been issued preventing the Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) from suspending Field Marshal Sarath Fonseka’s party membership and removing him from positions held within the party.
Accordingly, the relevant injunction, effective for a period of 14 days, prevents the political party from ousting Field Marshal Fonseka from the SJB, taking disciplinary action against him and removing him from posts in the party.
The relevant order was issued by the Colombo District Court on Monday (19 Jan.), upon consideration of a petition filed by Fonseka.
The order was issued by Colombo District Judge Sandun Withana, against party leader Sajith Premadasa, SJB General Secretary Ranjith Maddumabandara, Treasurer Harsha de Silva and National Organiser Tissa Attanayake.
MP Sarath Fonseka currently holds the position of Chairman of the SJB.
