Colombo Additional Magistrate Manjula Rathnayake issued yesterday (April 21) a conditional injunction order against 05 individuals, including the Municipal Commissioner of the Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte Municipal Council.
The order prohibits the use of loudspeakers or sound amplification equipment that causes excessive noise during events held at the Angampitiya Sports Grounds.
This conditional court order follows a private lawsuit filed by several residents of the Angampitiya area – Shehan Dushanta de Silva, Shamini Alwis, Glen Mathew, Asanka Sanjeewa Karunaratne, and K.A.O.S. Kuruppu.
Noting that they do not object to the holding of events, they had sought a court order to prevent public nuisance caused by the excessive noise.
