The Supreme Court yesterday
set aside the restriction imposed on a student union activist suspended from
sitting for the the final examination for the third academic year in the
Sanaragamuwa University and granted interim relief in allowing the applicant to
sit for the examination.
The petitioner is Madawala
Liyanage Sampath Kumara. The respondents cited are Vice Chancellor of the
university and 18 others. The petitioner alleges that university authorities have
imposed continuous restrictions on students union activities by way of
arbitrary by laws. Furthermore , the university authorities have imposed
restrictions on student meetings stipulating that such meetings could be held
only once a week.
The petitioner prays for a
writ of certiorari quashing the decision suspending him from the examination.
Furthermore, to grant a writ of mandamus directing the respondents to allow the
petitioner to sit for the examination. To issue an interim order directing the
respondents to allow the petitioner to sit for the examination. Extract from DailyNews
