When a new government comes into power, they also do similar things. That is the nature of a politics and the politicized institutions.

I guess you've missed to add "sri lankan" to some places , because that's not the nature of a true democratic country with intelligent voters. I mean yes , it's sad , but true.

Thes transfers were done , and with revengeful intention , so it is the right move to cancel transfer. If possible pls reverse earlier transfers as well where applicable.

Like Cabaraala and Moda Peiris, Shirani too was a pet of the Family. Once things got sour only she realised that "balloth ekka nidiyawoth kathaawa". Only time will tell what will happen to all those who go out of the way and do all illegal dirty work to please the boss. The day you say no or can’t do – you are kaput

Those transfers were made at the eleventh hour with ulterior motives. Action is justifiable.

-22+10 # Joli Pora 2013-01-18 14:24

Stopping ex CJ s transfers is not enough. Now sack the Appeals Court and Supreme Court Judges who sided with the ex CJ to undermine the government. Sack them all and get rid of these anti government scum. After Mahinda defeated the Tigets and saved the Motherland the entire Diaspora and their western stooge governments and the Sinhala Traitors have joined hands to undermine the government. Look at all the Sinhala traitors and the Jackals who have come out if the wood work to insult and abuse the government. However there is one intelligent and a wise man in the opposition. He is Ranil. These traitors also seek to undermine Ranil so he needs to be on the watch.

This is really true.
During her period judiciary was deteriorated. Good Judges such as TB Weerasooriya, Nissanka Udalagama, PHK Kulathilake left the Judges’ institute.
No Judge was able to meet her personally. She asked to write letters but all letters were referred to Secretary Manjula Thilakarante and PA Geethani Wijesinghe. Most of letters were not tabled in JSC meetings at Secretary’s discretion. If Judges cannot meet the head of the judiciary how can they resolve their grievances? They drove her crazy. In first time JSC made statement against the Government which led to this sad situation.
However, we thoroughly hope this situation will change by new CJ. Manjula Thilakaratne should be demoted to his original seniority place (This JSC Secretary holds CA Appeal judge’s status, this man does not know the law he knows only provisions of E code).
