A contempt of court application filed in the Supreme Court against former MP Diana Gamage has been dismissed.

The former MP was accused of contempt of court after she publicly stated that she does not accept the court verdict on her citizenship.

The application was submitted in May by Samagi Jana Balawegaya (SJB) member Rehan Jayawickreme.

Diana Gamage stripped of her Parliament seat following a landmark Supreme Court judgement.

The Supreme Court ruled that Gamage was not legally qualified to hold a parliamentary seat.

However, Gamage later told reporters she does not agree with the judgement. (Colombo Gazette)
