The Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) said today it had consistently taken up the position that the Attorney-General (AG) should ordinarily be selected from the officers of the AG’s department and that such appointment should preferably be in the order of seniority unless there were good reasons for not doing so.

In a statement on several media reports pertaining to the appointment of the AG, the BASL said it had not expressed any view on any particular individual or the holder of any particular office or position being appointed to the post of Attorney-General.

Good reasons for overlooking most senior(Gamlath) would include his trying to cover up the SL Army and Gnanasara Theros misdeeds in the Ekneligoda case, by trying to remove the independent State Counsel who was appearing!

The whole profession of law has got corrupt to the core! Just like the saffron robed kind. Apparently they want the previous corrupt rule reinstated.
