Colombo District Judge Sisira Ratnayake on Friday issued an enjoining order restraining the United National Party General Secretary Tissa Attanayake from activating his letter sent on June 13 asking the 14 UNPers, who joined the Government, to show cause for their action.

The Court issued the order after taking the petition into consideration filed by Darmadasa Bandara, Karu Jayasuriya, Gamini Lokuge, Mano Wijeratne and G.L. Pieris that cited UNP General Secretary Tissa Attanayake as the defendant.
The plaintiffs submitted that Tissa Attanayake brought allegations against the 14 MPs that they formed a separate group as United National Party Democratic Group without the consent of the UNP although they were elected to the Parliament as UNP members at the General Election held on January 29, 2006.
They also had passed several resolutions without the approval of the UNP. The letter asked them to show cause for their actions.
The plaintiffs pleaded that Tissa Attanayake was elected as the General Secretary at the party’s Annual General Meeting on November 19, 2006 which was illegal and was contrary to the UNP party Constitution.
