At the preliminary hearing, the Petitioner argued that the HPP Law had amended the provisions of other legislation and added new ones, making it ambiguous in that it is unclear whether it is a new law or the amendment of another law. He also asserted that the law’s formation had violated Article 22A of the 1945 Constitution, thus he requested that it be repealed.
