In its ruling, the Court stated that after reviewing the details of the petition, it found no grounds to intervene in the government's decision. The petition had raised concerns that the reduction in security personnel was made without adequate assessment of the former President’s security needs.
Rajapaksa had sought a judicial review of the decision, claiming that the move could endanger his safety. However, the Court found no merit in the petition and ruled in favor of the government’s actions.
The ruling has sparked discussions on the balance between state security measures and the protection of high-profile individuals in the country.
