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)

Shows how thick skinned he is. The position he holds is so important that the public must be convinced of the neutrality of the person concerned and he should quit the moment this confidence is lost.If there is strong evidence against the CJ the present regime must proceed with legal action. At the same impeachment process also must be started.

Are there any rules or laws to avoid Judges to be away from any stipulated places or give evidences as what happened to the Embilipitiya Judge?

Every body does things according to their own whims and fancies. Because the government is too soft and weak.

Rulers are wasting lot of time and tax payers money by visiting Temples. Religion should be personal to you , hence engage in religious activities on your spare time, using your own funds.

"Lejja nethi kama maha mudali kamatath lokui". Being unashamed is greater than holding a high position for certain base persons.
