(Lanka-e-News -21.Oct.2012
Since the rift between the Judiciary and the MaRa regime is deepening , Regime chief is seeking to appoint an appeal court judge who has no suitability for that post without consulting the Chief Justice , according to reports reaching Lanka e news.. It is mandatory to consult the chief justice and his/ her consent is obtained when appointing a judge to the Appeal court . Such a consultation had not been made because of the prevailing dispute between the Judiciary and the Executive.
It is P W D Chandra Jaytileke , a present High court judge who is to be appointed as the Appeal court judge amidst controversy. Justice Chandra is a relative of President’s Secretary Weeratunge. To fill the existing vacancy in the appeal court ,the Chief Justice has recommended duly Ms. Malini Gunaratne the most senior judge in the High court now. The judge P W D Chandra Jayatileke propelled by MaRa for this post is right down in the seniority list at 51st position meaning that there are 50 others above him in the seniority list. Chandra has only 3 more months to go on retirement , but if he is appointed as appeal court judge he can have the benefit of extending his service for three more years.
Might we recall that Judge Chandra was the Secretary to the Judicial service Commission during the dark era of Sarath N Silva when he was the chief justice. Chandra is also notorious as a most corrupt JSC secretary. He had earned the discredit of arranging transfers and promotions of judges after taking bribes in cash and other forms of gratification to satiate his sex starvation. Due to these evil propensities , he was chased out from his post as JSC Secretary after Asoka De Silva became the chief justice. Later , owing to his relationship with President’s secretary Weeratunge , he was appointed as secretary to the Post and telecom regulatory Ministry. Subsequently he was appointed as secretary to the Ministry of Buddha Sasana.
Thereafter , he was again appointed as a High court judge , at the lowest rung in the seniority . This incompetent unsuitable corrupt judge Chandra Jayatileke has sworn before MaRa as a new appeal court judge on yesterday
