Indeed good news. But only small fry from the backwoods are taken to task for this sort of thing. The big guys in the big cities get off Scott free for far major offenses. Why?

if all local government members. provincial council member, parliamentarians were put in jail for a week, imagine how the crime rate will reduce??

Some thing is better than nothing. Hope, the same procedure will be adopted when politicos threaten not only officials of a Magistrate Court, it should be same when they threaten even minor staff, whereever, whenever.

All humans should have their dignity upheld as long as they do a legitimate and honest day's work.

At the same time, if the Magistrate Court's staff misbehave, they should be punished double - because they know the law.

In the big cities it would be because the officials and lawyers invite politicians to threaten them, unlike in trincomalee. see the guy who tied himself not long time go.
