Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of order. I am the petitioner in that case. There is a proviso providing that, notwithstanding the earlier Act specifying 14 or 17 days to issue the notice of poll, the Election Commission is given up to three months within which to fix the date for receiving nominations. Therefore, stating strictly 14 or 17 days is not correct.
