CA Dilan Perera v. Rqfitha Senaratne (Yapa, J.) 89 in any such contract with the State or State Institutions. First situation Counsel submitted is due to the repeal of the Ceylon (Parliamentary Elections) Order in Council, 1946, and the second situation is due to the failure of Parliament to pass the necessary law under Article 91 (1)(e). Learned Counsel even went to the extent of submitting that the predicament is such that the relevance and applicability of earlier decisions on the subject and more particularly the case of Dahanayake us.

In the present case also we are faced with a similar issue. Therefore in my view the following passage in the judgment of Samarakoon C.J . in Dahanayake vs De Silva(supra) is not only illuminative but would provide the necessary background from which one should approach the arguments advanced by Counsel. Samarakoon, C.J. in the course of his judgment at 49 stated as follows: “It is an admitted fact that the National State Assembly did not, during the whole of the period that it was in existence, specify by law “such interest” in any “such contract” for the
