Review cases involving Shani and Judge Ranawaka: Udaya

Cases investigated by former CID Director SSP Shani Abeysekera and court orders were given by High Court Judge Padmini Ranawaka should be reviewed by the Chief Magistrate to ensure justice is done, Pivithuru Hela Urumaya leader Udaya Gammanpila said today.

Referring to the alleged telephone conversation between the SSP and MP Ranjan Ramanayake in relation to the court case against Duminda Silva, he said it was clear proof that the aforementioned court order was manipulated by politicians and investigating officers.

Mr. Gammanpila said the cases should be reviewed and justice ensured to innocent people who were falsely accused under a corrupt judicial system.

He said these telephone conversations were leaked to the social media through a close associate of Mr. Ramanayake who also gave information to the police leading to the police search of his home.

Mr. Gammanpila said it was fortunate that these telephone conversations were recorded by Mr. Ramanayake as it provided solid proof of interference in the judicial system under the previous government during the past five years. (Thisari Walawege)
