The Supreme Court today directed all media to follow the guidelines issued by the Commissioner of Elections in respect to the forthcoming Presidential Elections.
The Bench comprised Chief Justice Asoka de Silva, Justices Shirani Tilakawardane, N.G.Amaratunga, Saleem Marsoof and K.Sripavan.
Common Opposition Candidate General Sarath Fonseka had filed an application in the Supreme Court against state run media ITN and Lake House for violating the guidelines of the Elections Commissioner against biased coverage of the Presidential election campaign.
Gen. Fonseka had said that the two media institutions had disregarded and blatantly violated the guidelines issued by the Commissioner of Election which were issued following a fundamental rights application filed by him in last December.

I have little expectation whether this regime, will even listen to the Supreme Court?

Mr. Chief Justice, this Supreme Court order might fall on deaf-ears, till the 26th of January!

I too agree that the damage has already been done, but, hopefully, our people will be intelligent enough to interpret the spirit of the judgment!

Sri Lanka is sinking ship in the Indian ocean there is no future for our children.Sunday, 17 January 2010 04:11 AM
People have surely lost the confidence in everything that works with authority to maintain law and order. The situation can only be remedied with a complete change in our governance. The change is hopefully imminent and forthcoming.
