[TamilNet, Wednesday, 14 January 2004, 15:44 GMT]
The Colombo Additional District Judge Mr.W.Ganepola Wednesday extended the enjoining order preventing the Secretary General and Senior Vice President of the Tamil United Liberation Front (TULF) from summoning the central working committee or any meeting of the TULF without the permission of the party's President Mr.V.Ananadasangaree and rejected the application moved by respondents to vacate the enjoining order, legal sources said.

In his application Mr.Anandasangaree sought the court to issue an order preventing the respondents from summoning the central working committee of the party without his written permission. Mr.Anandasangaree cited Mr.R.Sampanthan and Mr.Joseph Pararajasingham as respondents, legal sources said.

The Colombo Additional District Judge first issued an enjoining order preventing the respondents from summoning any meetings of the TULF without the written permission of the petitioner Mr.Anandasangaree on December 17 last year. When the application was taken up for second time on that date the court extended the enjoining order till January 14.

When the case was taken up for further hearing Wednesday the Additional District Judge extended the enjoining order till January 26 and put off the further inquiry into the application of Mr.Anandasangaree on that date. The Additional District Judge rejected the application seeking the vacation of enjoining order, legal sources said.
