(Lanka-e-News-09.Feb.2012, 11.45PM) Following the exposure of the bribe taking mode of the chief justice of Sri Lanka (SL), Dr.Shiranee Bandaranaike to change judgments under the caption “How the SC decisions are ‘fixed’ by filthy lucre exposed………” in our website , we at Lanka e news are inundated with copious information on these types of sordid activities in the judicial sphere .
A President’s Counsel Lawyer speaking to us said, there are very few judges in SL who are immune from bribe taking. Judges are infected with this contagion of bribe taking all round , he added.
One case in point is the appointment given to the son of Appeal court judge Upali Abeyratne , the judge who has already tarnished his name professionally. His son has been appointed as a Senior crown Counsel by the Govt. Because he appeared as a junior State counsel in Fonseka’s case , and he is the son of Upali Abeyratne he had been elevated as a senior crown counsel. But , the whole of the Attorney General’s Dept .is rudely shocked over this appointment for he is not at all competent to hold that post.
In addition , at the same time , a son of a Supreme Court judge and his fiancée who are both utterly unsuitable for promotion have also been appointed as senior crown counsels by the Govt. But , the strange turning point in this romantic tragic -comedy is the Romeo (SC Judge’s son) finally getting the boot from Juliet (fiancée) after the promotion.
