Mullaitivu District Judge T. Saravanarajah has tendered his resignation from his posts due to threats on his life and a lot of stress, the Mullaitivu District Magistrate said.
His resignation letter was sent to the secretary of the Judicial Services Commission on September 23.
According to the letter, he resigned from the post of District Judge, the post of magistrate, the post of family court judge, the post of primary court judge, the post of small claims court judge and the post of Juveniles court judge.
However, it was reported that the threats and pressure stem principally from his involvement in the contentious Kurunthimalai archaeological site cases.

No wonder his incorrect judgements have angered many. He has been forced by Northern extremist forces.

When a Tamil Judge flees the country due to pressure and threats from Sinhalese politicians and the Army Intelligence, then this news would be despatched by all the Western embassies in Colombo to their capitals under the heading “Urgent”.

Hope the reasons for regional autonomy will become very clear now! Remember, even the president warned the archeological department for using private funds for archeological excavations! I don't think a head of state with good intensions are sufficient to solve SriLanka's core issues, you need strong legislation - devolutions!

Miracle of Asia.
Ali Baba Thursday, 28 September 2023 09:58 PM
In the wonder of Asia, even judges receive death threats. This is not an ideal place for decent people to live.
pantha kumaran Thursday, 28 September 2023 10:07 PM
I don't blame the judge. Our country is ruled by thugs and criminals. There is no future to our country for 1000 years. It is sad. But this what the racists politicians love. God bless mother lanka.
Sunil Thursday, 28 September 2023 10:24 PM
The intimidation needs to be thoroughly investigated and the perpetrators behind such activities need to be punished to the utmost extent of the law. It is very blatant interference in the judiciary.
Vigneswaran Friday, 29 September 2023 01:00 PM
No one be allowed to be above the Law.
Dav9d Thursday, 28 September 2023 10:30 PM
The majority think they own the country n feel physiologically that others should behave prior to Independence.

@Sri Lanka digging it’s own hole, have not millions already fled to the West, Canada, US, NZ
Karalasingam Sivalingam Thursday, 28 September 2023 10:37 PM
This is not a good trend, Internal Security Minister, should take immediate steps, to arrest the parties involved in threatening a Judge, further action should be taken to protect the Judges. Midst of intimidation and threats, no one could perform their duties
Kosappu Thursday, 28 September 2023 10:44 PM
He was forced out by southern politicians
Common sense Thursday, 28 September 2023 10:58 PM
It has to be two states in one country.
Kumara Thursday, 28 September 2023 11:16 PM
Sarah Wijesekara started this sad process in a recent parliamentary speech which was encouraging the racists to give him severe death threats.
Kumara Thursday, 28 September 2023 11:43 PM
Mr President: Thank you. A Sri Lankan law courts judge fled the country due to racists and Archelogy Ministry's unwarranted actions that lead to issuing severe death threats against him. This bears well for the country in a world stage and for your reconciliation adventure.
Punchi Friday, 29 September 2023 01:43 AM
We cannot protect our judges for performing their work. This shows what level of gangsterism our society has descended into
Kumara Friday, 29 September 2023 01:56 AM
Top Government Law Officer invited the Judge to his office and demanded to reverse the Court judgements which in turn followed by death threats. This further proves Colombo has no justification for holding on to powers, including law and order, land and tax rising to the Provinces.

It's a risk of the trade. How to handle the pressure is the key elements of the job. Of course the top management must help him.
Kunchithapathan Friday, 29 September 2023 04:52 AM
This is a country like no other and the Wonder of Asia. Wonder of the unprecedented abuse and corruption from the top to bottom. Barbarians are ruling the country.
Ram Friday, 29 September 2023 04:55 AM
SC Judges' houses were stoned during the time of JRJ the uncle of present President. Politicians play games and the Police are not doing their duties to acceptable standards. Corruption everywhere. So the resignation could be the best option for him
Sivalingam Friday, 29 September 2023 05:36 AM
Blunder of Asia, small debacle, so corrupt, waste of paradise.
ding Friday, 29 September 2023 05:42 AM
It shows India must annex our North and East provinces as a new state of India to solve our ethnic problem.
Sajith Friday, 29 September 2023 07:16 AM
Disgraceful. Who is the Prez of Sing today? How did the miracle of Asia go bankrupt? Our people will never learn. Is there law and order in this country? Why?

No honest professional can work in Sri Lanka as thuggery, corruption and manipulating the truth has eaten into the very fabric of society. Only we will be left with stooges of the Rajapakse Regime who still support them inspite of the many atrocities committed by this Regime and their henchmen. We look at the future where a Charismatic leader is voted who would not mince his words in prosecuting these criminals and ensure equality of the law.!!!!!!!!
Prageeth Friday, 29 September 2023 09:26 AM
At last! Thank you. Without further making many peopoles lifes miserable.

Gamini Friday, 29 September 2023 10:26 AM
compare this with the Australian judiciary
Jacoob Paradise Flies Friday, 29 September 2023 10:46 AM
It was alleged that the AG had also summoned the Judge , exerting pressure on him to change his verdicts on Kurindi . The learnt AG did not realise that he simply did not have any authority to summon a Judge , leave alone force him to Change his verdicts . My paradise flies..
Sobers Friday, 29 September 2023 11:01 AM
No wonder all the decent and respectable citizens are migrating and leaving Srilanka in thousands. Ender of Asia and Pearl in the Indian ocean ruined by politicians.
Mahila Friday, 29 September 2023 11:44 AM
Better outcomes than SWRDB' Sinhala Only policy 1956!!?? More opportunities for Majority to capture more Judicial positions, when Minority clan Judges cannot perform!!?? Why didn't the Oxford educated Walauwe, "GENTLEMAN", get this in the first place!!!???
JaffnaBoy Friday, 29 September 2023 03:35 PM
As long as SLPP in government we can see many of these. Before his death, the TULF former leader SJV Selvanayagam said, that only the GOD can save the Tamils in this country. But now, it seems that only the GOD can save the Nation.

It is the duty of the Chief Justice to protect the Judges under him. Unfortunately in SL, the CJ is a puppet of the politicians. He never takes any action against the MPs who threaten or try to influence the Judges. We need a foreign Chief Justice and a foreign IGP if we are to clean the mess in SL.

When the minster in the parliament making a statement that this a Sinhala majority country what is there to talk. Also goes to the site and argue with the judge. What is this country
Parththu Saturday, 30 September 2023 11:27 AM
Angered by majority people. Not at all. majority priests. First of all, obey the court's order. If not satisfied the judgement go to high court on this. This is usually happing everywhere. I ask you who are you say and how can you decide that was incorrect judgement ? Wonder about one county and two law and order Otherwise there must be two law in one country. That is the fact
