AG’s special favours for Thilina Gamage
The talk in the legal circles these days is as to whether Colombo additional magistrate Thilina Gamage is getting special favours and treatment from the attorney general’s department. That is because the enforcement of the law against him is taking place at a very slow pace.
Legal action is now underway against several monks, Ali Roshan and others, who are accused of elephant rackets. However, authorities are adopting a lazy approach with regard to Gamage.
There is a considerable delay on the part of the AG’s department in dealing with his case. CID sources say action cannot be taken against him until advice is received from the AG.
Society is wondering about this indolent approach in dealing with the illegal acts of persons tasked with administering justice, while the law takes its due course against others.
