The court ruled that the SJB’s actions were both legal and appropriate, rejecting the petitions filed by Fernando and Nanayakkara that challenged the party’s decision as unlawful. The three-judge bench, consisting of Justices Vijith Malalgoda, Achala Wengappuli, and Arjuna Obeysekera, delivered the final verdict, confirming that the SJB’s move to revoke their party memberships was valid and refusing to overturn the decision. Following this ruling, Harin Fernando decided to step down from his ministerial portfolios.
