Eva Wanasundara, Buvaneka Aluvihara, Sisira Abrew are judges for Gota’s FR petition: people watching whether judges will side with criminals

(Lanka-e-News -12.May.2015, 11.20PM)  The fundamental rights (FR) petition filed by ex defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapakse in the supreme court (SC) against the special financial crime division of the Sri Lanka (SL) police department is to be heard by a panel of judges which includes  Eva Wanasundara as the senior judge who received SC appointment under the Rajapakse regime . In the circumstances the entire judicial profession and all the courts are  eagerly watching with eyes opened wide as to how he will be conducting herself professionally when she hears this petition.

This petition is to be heard tomorrow (13)  Wednesday by a panel of judges constituted of Eva Wanasundara , Buvaneka Aluvihara and Sisira Abrew.

A group that exerted undue unlawful pressures on the courts on a scale unprecedented in SL’s judicial history under the Rajapakse regime , and secured judgments written in the way they wanted, as well as Ali Sabry lawyer , and Kalinga Indratissa PC  are bringing immense pressure to bear on the SC panel of judges to secure  permission if they are to hear the petition of Gotabaya , based on numerous reports that were floating at Hultsdorf , Colombo today.

Ali Sabry PC and his dastardly group had been resorting to devious and dubious  methods even using the SC registrar Ms. Jayasekera , specially to appoint a panel of judges , who would be partial to them in this trial in order to secure a judgment in the way they fancy, it has come to light. 

Buvaneka Aluvihara is one who has no experience as a judge , and  new to his tasks. He was appointed by the Rajapakse as an SC judge from the Attorney general’s department . Hence only Judge Sisira Abrew can be described as impartial. Though the judges should discharge their duties impartially and justly , the Hultsdorf  legal fraternity has faith if any , only on Sisira Abrew to live up to their expectations . The impartiality and fairness of Buvaneka Aluvihara on the other hand can only be decided tomorrow : whether he will contribute to justice pure and sublime maintaining  his dignity and decorum as a judge belonging to the lofty bench , or will make justice  a mockery thereby incurring the wrath   and resentment of the law abiding citizens who want crooks and culprits be meted out exemplary punishment so that others  will be deterred and daunted  from committing  crimes. If Aluvihara respects justice and maintains his judicial dignity, it is the view of the majority that it will then become impossible for Eva Wanasundara alone  to successfully do the sordid biddings of the Rajapakses.

It is best if everyone bears in mind that the people’s victory on 8 th of January was to bring all the crooks irrespective of their positions , power  and status to book, by hook or by crook , and not to allow them to escape while trying  to search for  technical and technological grounds when  even the rocket technology cannot save these ruthless bandits and bandicoots.
