He arrived at the commission yesterday and was expected to be questioned on the non-payment of money due to ITN for the political advertisements during the 2015 Presidential Election campaign. However, the sessions were postponed for today due to a preliminary objection by the former President.

Rajapaksa's lawyer said that the President does not have legal authority to appoint High Court judges to a Presidential Commission.

The Commission therefore does not have a legal authority to summon the former President, the lawyer argued further.

The Commission is expected to give its decision on the objection today.
