The Bar Association of Sri Lanka called on the new president, Maithripala Sirisena to withdraw his renewal of powers allowing the military to maintain public order.
Last week President Sirisena, renewed an Extraordinary Gazette notification which called on the military to ensure security and law and order within the island if the police could not.
The Bar Association said there was "no lawful justification to maintain the order", reports Colombo Page.
