The Chief Justice will not worry about the statements made by the Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) and continue to as the Chief Justice, his media spokesman said.


Attorney Wijeratne Kodippily who identified himself as Chief Justice Mohan Peiris’ media spokesman told Daily Mirror that he would continue to function as the CJ despite the statements made by the BASL.


The BASL has called for the CJ’s resignation on the grounds that by his pre-dawn presence at Temple Trees he had  failed to maintain his impartiality decorum as required by the Constitution. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)
