As enacted

7. Avoidance of doubt

Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby declared that the persons holding office as the Chairman and

Commissioners of the Commission on the day immediately preceding the date of operation of this Act shall continue to exercise and perform the powers and duties under that enactment until a Commission is appointed under section 2

of the principal enactment and shall from and after the date on which such Commission is appointed cease to hold office as such Chairman and Commissioners.
