KEMA SWARNADIPATHI THE NEXT JSC SECRETARY?
Swarnadipathi is currently serving as the Gampaha Magistrate and will replace incumbent JSC Secretary Manjula Tilakaratne.
Tilakaratne was at the center of controversy last year when he was assaulted by unidentified men amid heightened tension between the government and the judiciary.
The senior judge was hospitalized after being stabbed and badly wounded by four armed men in Mount Lavinia on October 07, 2012.
The attack came in the wake of an announcement by the JSC that it was being subjected to “threats and intimidation”.
Tilakaratne had issued a statement prior to the attack claiming the JSC, which is responsible for the administration of Sri Lanka’s justice system, was being targeted for criticism.
