It appears that The the Sri Lanka AG's department and the Judiciary are where truth, trust and justice go to die.

Can a laymen get a same prevention order for his or her case? True what "Oneshot" said, Srilankan judiciary is biased indeed.

Why all these legal modifications or favours for the benefit of mainly one individual of the country? Is this the way the law should prevail, or, is this the normal srilankan style of law and order?

If someone is so powerful without power, then with power - it is unimaginable. This case will never see the light of day ever.

How long does it take a man to change a light bulb is a joke. But to decide yes or no for the judiciary .....................

Most of the comments above are hillarious. Seems all want the blood of GR but not the justice. If there is no case to continue, whatelse learned judges can do? Hang him by hook or crook?

I think this will lead to riots in the country against the impotent judiciary which comprises of spineless jerks .The Minster of Justice and CJ should resign if they have any sense of shame or responsibility at the way the cases are being disposed. All corruption cases against some individuals never sees daylight. The Bond Scam also should also be given the same treatment. ? Banana Republic.

Though there is provisions in Law to deal similar matters on exceptional basis, judiciary has lost confidence in the face of the public. This is not the first time people lost faith in judiciary, but when a former CJ pleaded in open for apology by giving a wrong verdict. Being a person holding the highest post in the judiciary, no action was taken for contempt of court. Feel sorry for our children and next generations!

Its time to bring International Judges to the bench.

It is usual for judges to give reasons for their rulings. Has the Court of Appeal ever given reasons why they keep blocking any action against Gotabaya?

This reminds us Cardinal Rev. Malcom Ranjith's recent statement, "Neethiya Pagavata yata vela" (Bribes have taken over the Law)
