(Lanka-e-News- 05.Dec.2013, 7.00PM) Following the exposure by Lanka e news and the fierce protests lodged by the Anuradhapura Bar association against the permission given by Anuradhapura high court judge Bandula Karunaratne to Ms. Anoma Dissanayake , the child protection authority to use the Anuradhapura court premises as a car park for the ‘Royal channel center’ belonging to the family of Anoma Dissanayake, Bandula Karunaratne had been forced to rescind this order, according to reports.Lanka e news reputed locally and internationally for its fearless and forthright exposures no matter what high position the targeted individual holds , reported on the 24 th of November about the unscrupulous trait of this judge who is treating the court premises as his dowry property for the most nefarious reasons despite holding a lofty judicial position, and thereby he is disgracing the whole judiciary.
When the Anuradhapura Bar Association met on the 26th to take a decision on this most reprehensible action of Karunaratne , it had come to light that the latter had committed another dubious and diabolic wrongdoing. Karunaratne had sent a spy of his to the Lawyers’ meeting and had been listening to the proceedings of the meeting via a device connected to his spy’s mobile phone.
Karunaratne who had through that device come to know of the lawyers who were critical of him is now seeking to take revenge against them , and is also enlisting the other judges too to join him to accomplish his vendetta aims. Karunaratne had arranged for the sly recording of the meeting to be played before the Anuradhapura magistrate Ruwanthika Marapone, Magistrate Chandima Edirimanne, High court judges Dhammika Ganepola and Kema Swarnadhipathy and district judge Indika Attanayake .
It is a pity that though Karunaratne is a judge of the high court he knows no etiquette or moral ethics so much so that he has stooped so low even to play the role of a peeping Tom like rascals and scoundrels who peep through the keyhole to watch what a couple is doing within a bedroom. A high court judge descending to the level of eavesdropping on a lawyers’ meeting by tape recording it on the sly is worse than a scoundrel and a rascal.
Though Karunaratne had commenced his vindictive action against the lawyers and trying to ride the high horse , it is a well and widely known fact that Karunaratne is a judge who collects bribes at his official residence itself , and the lawyers are well aware of this. It is therefore the opinion of the legal circles that Bandula Karunaratne cannot ride high for long as he is sure to have a heavy fall and face the same disgraceful and dismal fate that was suffered by the Homagama judge .
