The Attorney General today informed Supreme Court that nobody has rights to demand or direct the President to re-summon Parliament since it is a discretionary power vested on the President.
Additional Solicitor General Indika Demuni de Silva appearing for the Director General of Health Services and Attorney General made these remarks when eight Fundamental Rights petitions filed challenging the dissolution of parliament and holding the General Election on June 20 were today taken up before Supreme Court five-judge-bench.
"The dissolved parliament cannot meet again. Nobody can continue in their positions in the Parliament. Dissolution means the end of the house. There is no provisions for the President to reconvene it," Additional Solicitor General said.
