According to the Constitution, Percy Rajapaksa became ‘disqualified thereafter to be elected’ on 27 January 2010. For some reason, this disqualification was not removed by the 18th Amendment. It is very clear that President’s question (b) has not referred to any Article or any section of Article of the Constitution. It refers to the ‘provisions of the Constitution’ in general and the ‘18th Amendment’ again in general. Why? It is very clear that there is no clear article that the President’s claim can be justified. Under the above circumstances, the decision of the Supreme Court is most likely be political, like in many instances in the past, and not judicial. It would be good for the future at least few judges act independently and make it a divided decision.
