Since we got independence , discipline of the people in this country has been in negative trend.More and more uneducated politicians being ruled the country and emerging kangaroo courts to punish educated descent citizens.

Ranil , CJ & MR , no one want to leave the Chair , by hook or crook , they want to stay on it !!

sarath Wednesday, 19 December 2012 09:59 AM

Dear citizen
you are abosolutly correct. this law was enacted by JRJ thinking the UNP will never loose eclctions under PR system and no party will get 2/3 majority in Parliament. During UNP time and Impeachment motion was was brought against Neville Saamarokoon CJ , Nadesan QC said the same thing in his submissions that PSC is a unaccaeptable mode of inquiry. Now UNP shll not cry fault of it.

PSC MEMBERS DUG THEIR OWN GRAVES

Fairose Wednesday, 19 December 2012 10:19 AM

Unfortunately, in sri lanka we have more dummies like you. Ranil & Mahinda is totally different from that of CJ. The government tries to unseat CJ to replace her with a "Yes Man".

Fairose Wednesday, 19 December 2012 10:21 AM

This is the chintana mess

Anu Wednesday, 19 December 2012 09:04 AM

Very Good Move. All the best!

Anushka Wednesday, 19 December 2012 10:43 AM

Dots, check your brain, The way CJ is being tried to remove is not simply justifiable.

ishan Wednesday, 19 December 2012 10:38 AM

What are you on about?

CJ wants to protect herself - not the independence of the judiciary. IMHO independence was lost the moment CJ didnt remove her influence from her husbands case. Now its come to light that independence was lost when Ceylinco cases were heard with vested interests!

International community would call a mistrial if a member of a jury was biased, let alone the judge itself being involved with parties of a case.

The SC is no better than the PSC to investigate the CJ. But her actions to me, fall far short of what would be expected of a judge, let alone a CJ.

Realist Wednesday, 19 December 2012 11:00 AM

She is fighting to cover up her misdeeds and increasingly looking like Hanuman with flaming tail.

Realist Wednesday, 19 December 2012 11:02 AM

So said cheerleaders for SF as well !!!

Ranil Wednesday, 19 December 2012 11:14 AM

CJ , you are counting days to go home. will be an another SF.

We are very sorry for you.

Luvis Wednesday, 19 December 2012 11:26 AM

Mahesh Wednesday, 19 December 2012 03:50 PM

This is all about the power. how juduciary proform without power ???

ASHRAFF NAZIM Wednesday, 19 December 2012 08:40 AM

The Sword of the Justice shining

Realist Wednesday, 19 December 2012 08:38 AM

What a joke !!! She is CJ and president of JSC and has overarching powers over entire court system. She is in effect hearing her own case.

I think this is Natural justice 'CJ Style' that her supporters are so fond of saying denied to her !!!!!

Just because gov. is politically motivated it does not entitle her to go scot free covering all wrongdoings under banner of 'Freedom of Judiciary'.

Mervin Ayya Wednesday, 19 December 2012 08:38 AM

What a misery, the head of the justice has to seek the justice. How unfortunate we are as a nation.

silva Wednesday, 19 December 2012 08:10 AM

MR will appoint his crooks as judges to proceed the case

Nihal Wednesday, 19 December 2012 08:47 AM

Whether elder brother would say they all have imune aginst any court

EMMANUEL PHILIP Wednesday, 19 December 2012 08:49 AM

It is a good one madam but beware of the gun trotting goons of the brothers. They might finish you off before anything untoward starts.

Flashing sword reminds penance.

SriLankan Wednesday, 19 December 2012 08:58 AM

When people made the constitution of the country a periodical for short term gains we have expect this type of situations of "Nadu and Badu" both belongs to same party .

Ranjit Wicks Wednesday, 19 December 2012 08:59 AM

Fine. Get my coffee ready and watch CJ-MR battle from ringside.

kaputakukula Wednesday, 19 December 2012 09:01 AM

Mm, you are heading strongly. Now, as most of the judiciary (except a few opportunists and puppets) is supporting you and standing by your side. The people too are now joining your side so also the international community.
Be stubbon and stay put. It may cost you dearly but your name will be inscribed in the history of Sri Lanka forever for protecting the independence of the judiciary in Sri Lanka.

matara man Wednesday, 19 December 2012 08:57 AM

Hon. Madam please be carefull of Kelaniya King. Do not send your Children away .
