A petition has been submitted to address the delayed hearing of a constitutional challenge pertaining to the 22nd Amendment Bill, according to court documents.
The petition underscores concerns over the extended period during which the substantive legal challenge has remained unheard, raising questions about the timeline for judicial review of the amendment.
The 22nd Amendment Bill, which introduced significant constitutional changes, has faced legal scrutiny since its passage. The petition filing suggests that procedural delays may be hampering the resolution of the constitutional challenge.
The matter now rests with the relevant judicial authorities to determine the appropriate course of action regarding both the original challenge and the subsequent petition addressing the hearing delay.
Details regarding the specific grounds of the constitutional challenge and the timeline involved were not immediately available. The development reflects ongoing judicial engagement with constitutional matters in Sri Lanka.
