The development comes just a day after Justice Minister Wijeyadasa Rajapakshe had instructed the Secretary of the Justice Ministry to halt the gazette publication until after the Presidential Election is held.
The Minister had made this call amidst allegations that the amendment is being used as a tactic to postpone the election.
