The Supreme Court has informed Parliament that the proposed private sector pension bill and its clauses are in accordance with the Constitution, the speaker announced in the Parliament a short while ago.

The court ruling was delivered to the Speaker by the Supreme Court on Tuesday.

The Supreme Court examined the act regarding private sector pensions to verify its compatibility with the Constitution.

Several trade unions challenged the act for public sector pensions and foreign employees' pensions that were to be debated in parliament on April 27. However the government decided to postpone the debates on the acts due to protests.
