(Lanka-e-News-06.March.2012, 11.55PM) The deplorably disgraceful undignified level to which the Sri Lanka judiciary has descended was perfectly illustrated at the Deiyandara Magistrate court yesterday , according to reports.About a month ago , a businessman from Hakmana organized a musical event . The organizers wished that this event goes on until the following dawn. When they went to the police to get a permit for the use of a speaker , the OIC of the police station had demanded a bribe of Rs. one lakh to grant the permit. The businessman had objected to this payment. Following this incident , there had arisen a bitterness between the police and the businessman resulting in the police filing action against the businessman’s group on the ground that the musical event was held unlawfully.
The Deiyandara courts took up this case for trial yesterday . It was Namal Rajapakse who holds the rare inglorious distinction of being the first synthetic Lawyer of SL who appeared in this case at the Deiyandara courts. The whole Deiyandara court Lawyers including the judge shook like crooks when they saw this synthetic Lawyer .
As though God has descended from the sky in the form of a ‘shark’ , all the cases piled up were put aside by the judge , and the case of this ‘shark’ was taken first. The aging Lawyers sprung up from their seats as though they were subject to an electric shock when they saw Namal . According to our reporter, it was doubted whether the female judge will also rise from the bench at the sight of the ‘shark’, for she too was apparently gripped in a fear psychosis – based on all these comical characters who hold sway in the present day courts , one can imagine what kind of Lawyers and judges grace ( or rather disgrace) our courts now.
