Homagama DJ charged with bribery is victim of Rajapakse conspiracy: Bribery Commission pimps exalt harlots in the streets
(Lanka-e-News-31.May.2013,8.30PM) The story that the Homagama district judge (DJ) Sunil Abeysinghe was arrested on charges of receiving a bribe of Rs. Three lakhs is a MaRa regime conspiracy out and out , as revealed by the Lanka e news inside information division.

During the period when the impeachment motion was brought forward based on a MaRa conspiracy to destroy the independence of the judiciary , this DJ was the fearless and forthright judge who gave support to the campaign against the MaRa conspiracies. This latest allegations about his bribe taking is the latest conspiracy of the Rajapakse regime to vilify this bold judge who even spoke openly against the appointment of the new chief justice (cheat justice)who until then languished in the backyard of the Temple Trees doing MaRa’s sordid biddings. 

The person who was enlisted to carry out this conspiracy is a businesswoman residing at Magamana , Homagama who owns a Hotel – ‘Siyarata Hotel’ at Amunugama junction on the Homagama – Hanwella road. Her husband’s name is R M S B Hettiarachi . Since of late , near this Hotel , a site was built displaying a Buddha statue and idols of deities . Those traveling in lorries and buses had made it a practice to stop at this venue make offerings (padhuru) and invoke the blessings of the deities. Since the hotel is close by , its income also had augmented following this practice for, those who stop to invoke blessings also order food and drinks from the hotel . To object to this commercialization of religious practices and selling of Hettiarachi’s piety to make money , the chief incumbent of the Ambulgama Raja maha Vihara has come forward . 

This monk who has visualized this issue from the present extremist view had alleged that this statue being placed in the vicinity of the main road is to harm the religion, although in fact, like the other extremists he also had ulterior motives to achieve using his robe – that is he was worried over the fact that the monies coming into his Temple Till are being diverted to this new place of offerings. He had therefore made frequent complaints to the Hanwella police. Unable to bear this nuisance, a case was filed in the courts 5 to 6 months ago. The case was heard on several occasions. Abeysinghe , being a judge who is religious minded had decided to personally investigate the disputed place , as this is not just an issue involving two parties , but rather concerning the general public.

Judge Abeysinghe had made it a practice within his powers to visit the scene and make a personal inspection to discern and get a first hand impression of the factual situation when hearing disputes between parties, unlike many other judges who deliver judgments after hearing and deciding on the case merely by being seated in their official chair. 

As usual , he had in this instance gone with his police security personnel to the venue at about 8.00 in the night yesterday. It is then the judge had been drawn into this conspiratorial net. The conspirators who implicated the judge should answer the following questions :

• The wife of the owner of the ‘Siyarata Hotel’ had reported this to the Bribery Commissioner yesterday evening.When a compliant is received that a bribe is being demanded the commission gives its marked notes to the complainant .

• The Bribery Commission closes its office at 4.00 p.m.
In those circumstances , how is that within a short period of two hours the complaint was recorded as well as made possible to mark Rs. Three lakhs currency notes ?

• A judge can meet any person privately at his residence or in his chamber. That is ,on such occasions nobody else can enter or be present without his permission.

• When a judge has such rights to deal privately away from the eyes of any other , if he is to take a bribe he can easily arrange that within his chamber . He need not go out.

• Then , how can we give credence to the story that a judge went to a public place to a hotel situated near the main road to collect a bribe ? Is he an alien from outer space who descended on the hotel ?

• Who is the fool who would go along with police out to take a bribe at a hotel close to the main road where people are jostling ?

• This businesswoman who was used to orchestrate this conspiracy is an unscrupulous stooge of MaRa stooping to any sordid level being born without any sense of shame like her leaders themselves. She had organized processions on behalf of Mara, and spent freely for MaRa’s functions .

• How could this woman lodge a complaint with the Cinnamon gardens police yesterday(30th) noon? Can the complaint be made after the arrest ?

• How did the Cinnamon gardens police get involved while the Hanwella police knows nothing of it?

• What is the power the bribery Commission officer has legally to obstruct a judge in the execution of his duties ?

• If this state of affairs is to continue , isn’t it possible for any Bribery commission pimp to use any harlot in the streets and penalize any government servant ?

Last January , the same evil Rajapakse regime similarly implicated a Customs Director , Kanagasabai Ranjan in a bribery allegation who was maintaining a clean record .

The MaRa regime has now found it easy to bring those against whom they nurse a grudge under the guillotine via bribery charges than bringing an impeachment motion against its enemies which it did earlier and just managed to succeed. This trend portends most dangerous signals. 
While the judges who should be stoned and chased away are mollycoddled by this regime , and are still freely and proudly carrying on their atrocities . The MaRa regime in its witch hunt is punishing the other judges , and trying to whitewash its own unjust , corrupt and demonic actions. 

There are 28 complaints including charges of rape against Justice Sarath De Abrew before the judicial service commission. Another fresh charge against him is while in a drunken state at a Foreign Airport threatening other judges after breaking a whisky bottle by hitting it on the ground. Such disgraceful acts demeaning himself, the judiciary and tarnishing the country’s image in a foreign country after going as a representative of his country is no trifling matter. 

A judge who is charged with rape and sexual abuse should be interdicted. Such crimes and wrongdoings soil the reputation of the country . Yet those scoundrels are free and continuing to enjoy living a life of evil and sin. On the other hand , it is unfortunate that Judges like Sunil Abeysinghe just because they followed a collision course against the Rajapakses and stood by justice , are put behind bars via plots and vicious schemes of the Rajapakses.
