How Tiran Alles got SC to do his bidding through Prof. Lakshman Marasinghe!
A serving judge in the Supreme Court revealed important information to Lanka News Web regarding how RADA chairman Tiran Alles has evaded arrest, despite facing accusations that could have led to his arrest ten time over.
According to the judge, SC judge Rohini Perera Marasinghe has influenced chief justice K. Sripavan to issue an interim injunction preventing the arrest of Alles. Together with the other judge Eva Wanasinghe, she had misled the CJ.
It was due to their influence that the CJ has given a three-page, lengthy ruling that prevents the arrest. For that, Rohini and Eva have betrayed the code of conduct of SC judges, said the judge who gave us the details.
On the advice of senior president’s counsel Romesh de Silva, Alles met senior professor of law Lakshman Marasinghe to obtain an opinion. Tiran baited Rohini and Eva through the former’s husband Lakshman Marasinghe. Alles has paid more than Rs. 10 million for Marasinghe’s opinion. Most part of that payment has been distributed between the two female judges.
“I don’t say the CJ (Sripavan) obtained a bribe. Sripavan is not such a person. But, I do not trust those two women. Eva may be emotionally foolish, but Rohini is a very cunning woman. If not, why waste three pages on an interim injunction? Moreover, all the others of RADA are remanded, and how come their boss has escaped?” the SC judge asked.
The case will be taken up again late November for written submissions. The judge added that Tiran’s case could be a black mark on Sripavan’s otherwise unblemished career.
