Nuwara eliya HC judge from the junk openly speaks filthy politics from the bench
(Lanka-e-News-12.Sep.2013, 11.30PM) Lalith Ekanayake , the Nuwara eliya high court judge is actively engaging in filthy and foul politics even while being on the sacrosanct judicial bench . He has made deplorable political remarks insulting the bench , profession and the judiciary as a whole , according to reports reaching Lanka e news.
When the trial was taken up yesterday (11) in the case No. 172/2010 filed by the Minister for private transport C B Ratnayake against Walapane division chairman Jagath Kumara Samarahewa and Jatila Gunasekera this high court judge from the junks had made a most disdainful politically motivated announcement most unbecoming of a high court judge.
While there is a rumor that Jagath Kumara the UPFA chairman is going to resign from the government and is about to join the UNP , Lalith Ekanayake the judge from the junks had remarked in open court “Ah , hasn’t the chairman come today? Tell him I shall be hearing the case on both days – 24 th and 25 th . I shall hear the case keeping him standing all the while. Then we can see whether he can desert the party and leave.”
This judge by his remarks had not only betrayed his ignorance of laws and court decorum , but even disgraced the bench by his most reprehensible conduct and insolent politically motivated comments while being on the hallowed bench. He had only demonstrated shamelessly that he is openly contributing to make the judicial court a prejudicial court of MaRa . The lawyers and the police officers who watched this stupid judge’s buffoonery and tomfoolery while still on the bench at the expense of lofty court traditions and legal ethics, were so rudely shocked that they had begun to wonder whether they were within the court premises listening to a judge or a lunatic in an asylum .
It is significant to note that this judge was transferred to Nuwara eliya by Minister Ratnayake solely because of the impending central province elections. This judge from the junk has been at Nuwara eliya Dharmaraja College and has been the classmate of Minister Ratnayake’s younger brother Thilak Ratnayake from Kindergarten to GCE advanced level. Ekanayake is also a very close family friend of Ratnayakes.
Minister C B Ratnayake’s other younger brother S B Ratnayake is a candidate at the upcoming provincial council elections. This Minister Ratnayake who is flagrantly violating the election laws had told at the recent divisional chairpersons meeting openly , “Don’t fear anyone. If you have enemies just tell the OICs , they will frame charges and haul them before court. When they are produced before court Lalith (judge from the junk) will look after the rest.
All of you must work for SB with full zeal and zest . Thrash whomsoever you wish . Give them a thundering slap. Clearly remember the PC elections shall be somehow won. The President when he came to Nuwara eliya told me personally ‘ CB , somehow win this for me by hook or by crook.’ Therefore don’t back out or retreat” Minister C B Ratnayake had asserted.
The Walapane division chairman Jagath Kumara against whom the case is filed was a UNP er . When S B Dissanayake defected to the government , Jagath Kumara was pressurized to join the government. Now Jagath Kumara is disillusioned with the government in much the same way as a great majority . Being dissatisfied with the government’s actions , he is now in the ready to join the UNP . This case that was filed in 2010 against him has been revived to bring pressure to bear on Jagath Kumara once again.
It is Minister Ratnayake’s evil motive to use the unscrupulous judge Lalith Ekanayake who would stoop to any sordid level including selling his soul and professional honor if he can only achieve his selfish foul ambitions . It is therefore no wonder that Jagath Kumara has been indicted on a most flimsy charge that a jeep of the government given for official purposes to the agriculture Ministry was misused by him.
Later news says the other accuser Jatila Gunasekera has submitted a affidavit today regarding this Judge’s misbehavior
