The Supreme Court has determined that the Samagi Jana Balawegaya’s (SJB) decision to expel Ministers Harin Fernando and Manusha Nanayakkara from the party is lawful.
The SJB expelled Fernando and Nanayakkara after they joined President Ranil Wickremesinghe’s Cabinet, despite the party’s collective decision not to join the government.
Fernando and Nanayakkara had filed Fundamental Rights petitions challenging the party’s decision.
