  (Lanka-e-News -25.Nov.2011,9.00P.M.) When a child of a judge (male or female) marries , though it is not illegal for a country’s President and Speaker of Parliament to attend the wedding as attesting witnesses , it is a universally accepted and acknowledged truth that they are not invited by a judge as a custom and practice , for the judges are expected to be scrupulously clean and maintain the independence of the judiciary ( a paramount ingredient of Democracy in a Democratic country ) and its hollowed traditions of steering clear of politicians and politics, particularly the kind of politics in Sri Lanka where the highest of the political hierarchy himself is indulging in undermining Democracy and independence of judiciary with ruthless determination. It is also an established custom , that a judge should not attend any function , if it is not one of judge’s blood relatives. This is because apart from other reasons , the judge will not be able to impartially act or follow his/her conscience when she breaks with these time honored traditions for sordid selfish aims and ambitions or otherwise.
Hence , justice Deepali Wijayasundara who is already enmeshed in a most disgraceful scenario with raging condemnation from the public and legal circles against her based on her overtly biased judgment against Gen. Fonseka in the white flag case (she was the President of the judges’ panel), inviting the President of the country and speaker of Parliament to be the attesting witnesses for her daughter’s wedding and receiving lavish gifts is not only frowned upon by one and all as the worst despicable level a Judge in that honorable position can most dishonorably stoop to, but bartering away her soul for most selfish and worst unscrupulous gains in Sri Lanka’s judicial history . Moreover this confirms beyond any trace of doubt that the raging allegations against her of abjectly and shamelessly kowtowing to the political higher ups compromising the dignity and prestige of the Judiciary when sentencing Fonseka to a three year jail term are indeed true.
Pictures herein shows her ‘dancing and prancing’ on the second day of her daughter’s wedding , much to the delight of the political higher ups to whose tunes she is dancing literally and metaphorically.
May we conclude by saying , learn to be your age and mind your steps when you are on squalid soil. One cannot stifle the stench and squalor for long however one tries.
