We need Pakistani type courts with courage

Thishya Weragoda Friday, 20 July 2012 05:00 PM

that is because the Order itself was not legal per se.

thanuka Friday, 20 July 2012 01:26 PM

if you talking about lawyers, you are completely wrong. lawyers their own motion stand against the 18th amendement, Army training to students, Bill to acquire purported under performing Enterprises and ect.

thanuka Friday, 20 July 2012 01:22 PM

today no lawyer accepted his or her professional fee and no client had to incur any legal expense today.

thanuka Friday, 20 July 2012 01:19 PM

delay is not merely because lawyers and why you don't blame to the lawmakers for not taking any actions to implement suitable procedures to expedite disposing cases. Today some cases will be postponed to next January.

sue Friday, 20 July 2012 05:55 AM

It would be better still if all the politicians go on strike as well and be on strike forever. If only wishes come true....

mangala Friday, 20 July 2012 05:45 AM

Respectable people like judges , lawyers Professors, Doctors and all others should come together and influence Government to bring Law and order to country. Otherwise this will be a Banana republic. Must give a severe punishment for those who responsible for anarchy.

It was only recently that the Defence Secretary said that Police powers have not been curtailed and there is no deterioration of law and order in the country.
Will he eat his own words now ?

Al Rasa Friday, 20 July 2012 04:48 AM

Nothing New delay in disposing cases already exist. One day delay has no impact at all.
