Judicial and Political Proceedings

Sri Lankan courts are handling significant legal cases including former President Gotabaya's writ petition and discussions about extending judges' retirement age. Opposition parties are meeting to address concerns about proposed judicial reforms.

Gotabaya's writ petition got so many deferrals it's basically on the judicial equivalent of a "read later" list, while judges are out here negotiating their own retirement like they're union workers—turns out everyone wants to clock out early, just with different legal paperwork attached.
