A group of police officers have filed a Fundamental Rights (FR) petition in Court over the promotion of three police officers to the rank of Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) based on a cabinet decision.

In the petition filed at the Supreme Court 33 police Chief Inspectors (CI) claimed that the three police officers of lower ranks were promoted last month as ASPs based on a cabinet decision.

The Chief Inspectors cited the Cabinet, Police Chief, Defence Secretary and the Prime Minister were cited in the petition. (Daily Mirror online)

Nothing will come out of it. The promoted guys might be Blue Eyed Boys.

Well, you reap what you sow, it is not going to get any better.

Cabinet only raise their hands. Proposed by Gota and approved by MR. Cabinet has become a puppet before MR siblings. See what would be the verdict.

Ask your self whom did I vote in the election if it is Mahinda R this is what you get.

Upul Gunawardena Friday, 10 September 2010 01:58 PM

Why would these cops go to FR commission for their own benefit ? These are the same people who violates the Fundamental rights of the general public most of the time.

Do you enjoy the power of 18th amendment. sooner judjes may have to file FR? What you can do is nothing?

siripala Friday, 10 September 2010 04:09 PM

This could be the first test case

Deepal Friday, 10 September 2010 04:49 PM

If Mervyn Silva can be a Minister, why can't three lowly cops become ASPs.

dhanushka Friday, 10 September 2010 05:09 PM

well come to 18 th amendment.

TP Friday, 10 September 2010 05:14 PM

It is unfair to gauge all the cops with the same meaure, most of them are compelled by the hgh and mighty to violate others rights.

Be more active in serving the needs of the rulers.

Geronimo Saturday, 11 September 2010 01:27 AM

Well, you guys were asking for it by breaking up legitimate protests against the 18th Amendment which has done away with the constitutional Councils, your only hope from this type of fraud!

Innocent Saturday, 11 September 2010 01:32 AM

Do you need the Independent Polce commission only for your benefit. Please get trained to think of law when carrying out your duties also.Move for a program of Fr for all and not only for the Police.

dharmadasa Saturday, 11 September 2010 01:37 AM

do what they ordered you will get your promotions very soon.

H.de Silva Saturday, 11 September 2010 03:02 AM

Verdict?. Do not waste your time waiting for it.

arasoysa Saturday, 11 September 2010 04:31 AM

This is why Magadi Raja abolished 17th ammendment and with that wiped out police commission
