Come to 'compromise' says Supreme Court
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The Supreme Court in Sri Lanka has ruled that people living in houses being demolished in Gleni Street in Colombo seem to
be illegal dwellers.
The Supreme Court judge Asoka de Silva on Wednesday made this observation when a fundamental case filed by residents was taken for hearing. Thirty one residents in their petition asked the court to order to stop the demolition of the houses. The defence lawyers pointed out that the alternative arrangements provided to the residents are not suitable while the Urbun Development Authority responded saying that new settlements with acceptable standards are being built in the suburb of Dematagoda. The Urban Development Authority (UDA) demolished houses in certain areas despite strong protests by the residents. The judge, Asoka de Silva advised the petitioners to discuss with the Urban Development Authority (UDA) to come to compromise. The judge said that the Supreme Court will not intervene into this case after August 10. |
