The Hon. M. Nizam Kariapper, PC
M. Nizam Kariapper referred to Parliament’s power to legislate in response to judicial interpretations, citing a past example involving revocation of parental gifts to children. He requested Members’ support for the Nurachcholai Housing Project (Special Provisions) Bill he had submitted, and concluded after noting he had strayed beyond the immediate debate topic.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Please grant me two more minutes; I will conclude swiftly, Hon. Presiding Member.
¶ 02 For example, when the Supreme Court held that parental gifts to children could be revoked without going to court, Parliament brought a law to reverse that effect.
¶ 03 Therefore, I request all to support the Nurachcholai Housing Project (Special Provisions) Bill I have submitted today. I apologize for going beyond the immediate debate topic due to time constraints, and I conclude. Thank you.
