State Minister Diana Gamage's request seeking an enjoining order preventing Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa being functioning as the leader  of Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) and Ranjith Madduma Bandara as the SJB General Secretary was today rejected by the Colombo District Court.

In December last year, State Minister Diana Gamage had filed a petition claiming that Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa and Ranjith Madduma Bandara holding membership and positions of the Samagi Jana Balavegaya is against the constitution of the party.

State Minister Gamage had filed the petition via President's Counsel Uditha Igalahewa with the Colombo District Court and noted that Sajith Premadasa and Ranjith Madduma Bandara continue to remain as members of the United National Party.
