Pay hike for judges

Hope Mr Sarath Silva former CJ will also receive the arrears or will they disqualify him under some emergency provisions. The next thing will be the increase for the parliamentarians not to mention the President. Poor government servant will have to starve to death. Serves everyone right.

Of course, Sarath Silva should one day be paid "with arrears" for all the bungling he did to protect the Tsunami thieves.

The "Executive" the "Legislature" and "Judiciary" seem to be working in complete harmony.
"Public Sector" you don't pay any "TAXES" yet you hassle, harass and preach to the private sector when there is a short coming on their part on tax payments. You penalize, freeze assets and accounts and you judges prosecute the private sector defaulter without remorse, whilst you don't contribute a red cent to the coffers of the state. THIS IS HYPOCRISY WITH LEGAL IMMUNITY.

What about the Military Tribunal? They also should receive the increase because the govt says they are also a legitimate court.

They really know how to use the spoon in their hands to serve themselves. With the increase in judges' salaries they really killed two birds with one stone: one to keep the judges happy to dispsnse the ruler's brand of justice and the other to get automatic salary increases for all from the President downwards. So what happened to that Rs 2500.- promised to the public sector? Maybe no money in the budget now.

Yes the government is compel to do it. The Judiciary is in their hands now

this is because it will automatically raise the MP and Presidents salaray., Arrears also there. therefore increasing judges salaray is for their own benifits..

Most of the people is not unhappy in incresing salaries of Judges but it will automatically benifit the MPs.

but still they receive a fair monthly salary...think about the other government servants who are receiving less than 12 000 a month..."Praise to God" for what you receive...

Is this the need f the hour?, our corrupt politicians know how to keep their cronies happy. In the other hand more partying for the judges. I mean with the current salary they can go to the night clubs and run behind the female escorts and with the increased salary don't know what and what they will do. We will have to wait and see.
