CJ’s mafia to hide rulings of cases heard by him!
- Wednesday, 30 April 2014
We are receiving many complaints that there are undue delays running into several months in issuing rulings of the cases being heard before Chief justice Mohan Peiris of the Supreme Court.
The CJ especially has a habit of keeping copies of the rulings influenced by Gotabhaya Rajapaksa in his official chamber without giving them to the other parties, according to SC sources.
Therefore, the aggrieved parties have become helpless and are unable to obtain justice. Although the CJ has ordered judges in the lower courts to speed up the availability of case files for copying, he is not making that requirement applicable to himself.
SC employees say the CJ keeps files of the case he had heard, with himself for months on end. These are the files of cases in which he had given rulings at the influence of others, reports say.
In just one instance, the SC has issued an interim order against the construction of a swimming pool at Gateway International School run by businessman Tiran Alles and his brother Harsha Alles, but the CJ is keeping the case files in his official chamber, denying the opportunity for the aggrieved parties to obtain copies of the order and other relevant documents.

Wimal’s latest playact – leaving govt!
- Wednesday, 30 April 2014
As per a secret agreement with the president, Engineering and Construction Services minister Wimal Weerawansa is to ‘leave the government’ in his latest playacting, for which he is famous after his ‘lemon puff playact’ in front of the UN office in Colombo. The president has promised him all facilities and security even after he ‘leaves the government’.
The two have reached this pact in order to prevent the Democratic Party of Sarath Fonseka and the JVP from attracting votes.
As the first step, the LankaCNews website owned by minister Weerawansa is resorting to a fake anti-government stance. The aim is to get the Telecommunications Regulatory Commission to ban the website.
After ‘leaving the government’, Weerawnsa will strongly criticize the government in order to garner the support of all patriotic forces. At the eleventh hour, he will betray all opposition forces, claim that Mahinda Rajapaksa is the only alternative and rejoin the government, as per the script of his latest playact.
The president is resorting to various moves to come out of the crisis unscathed after the State Intelligence Service warned that the government’s popularity was going down steeply. He is expected to take several more controversial decisions. Towards that, government affiliates other than Bodu Bala Sena, Sihala Ravaya, Ravana Balaya will have to play various roles.
