Speaker Mahinda Yapa Abeywardana announced the Supreme Court's determination on the Telecommunications (Amendment) Bill in Parliament this morning.
The Court found that certain clauses in the bill are inconsistent with the constitution and must be passed by a special majority to be enacted.
This ruling highlights the need for further legislative scrutiny and potential amendments to align the bill with constitutional requirements. The Parliament will now need to consider these recommendations as it moves forward with the legislative process.
