-Frees culprit Thilina and remands witness who revealed the truth !!
(Lanka-e-News -12.June.2016, 6.20PM) The prime witness Dissanayake Bandarage Chaturatne Yatawara in the case against Thilina Gamage the notorious elephant rogue , who came forward to give evidence against Thilina to confirm that the verdict of Gangodawila magistrate Kanishka Wijeratne is a Kekille King’s court judgment ( frivolous and erroneous judgment) was remanded yesterday (11).
The elephant calf that was captured from the forest by ‘Ali Roshan’ after killing its mother was given to ‘Ali hora’ (elephant rogue) Thilina . It was Yatawara an innocent in this robbery whose name was used to prepare the phony files in order to show that the calf was legally owned. The fake document was prepared to indicate that this calf was born to an elephant belonging to Yatawara.
Yatawara worked as a servant in the house of a cousin sister of Thilina. Yatawara who is now working as a laborer revealed to the CID ‘ Aney Sir , I am one who hasn’t the means to feed a cat let alone an elephant . I am earning my livelihood by working as a laborer.’
In the circumstances Kanishka Wijeratne trying to remand this hapless and helpless individual who was used by Thilina Gamage to prepare the fake document, and seeking to free Thilina the elephant rogue is a most unjust action for which the retribution is nothing less than a lightning attack on the perpetrator of that injustice. If this judge who is abusing judicial powers and overturning sacrosanct justice escapes this retribution , it is nothing but a miracle.
When Yatawara was produced before Kanishka , and his lawyers were trying to request bail on his behalf , Kanishka without allowing room for that , remanded Yatawara until the 13 th while ordering that the bail request shall be made on that day.
On the 3 rd , when Thilina was produced in court , Kanishka on that day said when granting bail , the elephant calf is not part of public property. Then how come the calf became public property now when Yatawara is being remanded ?
Kanishka Wijeratne through his uncouth , unethical and despicable conduct has today again proved to what sordid level he can descend brazenly and shamelessly while wearing the professional cloak to make country’s laws and legal Institutions a mockery, and justice a travesty.
It is most reprehensible that while the verdict delivered in this case is considered by one and all as a gross miscarriage of justice, and despite the whole country opposing this for the last one week, the chief justice has not been able to take any action in this regard.
In this case , legal ethics and norms were most contemptuously cast into the dustbin by judge Kanishka who heard the case of a bosom pal of his in which the latter is the accused facing grave criminal charges. Even a Kindergarten class child can understand that these actions of an uncouth unethical judge has seriously jeopardized the sacrosanct independence of the judiciary , and portends grave danger so much so that the entire edifice of justice can collapse in the future. In the circumstances if CJ cannot perceive that this case shall be heard again from the outset , certainly this is a CJ whose headquarters are in his hindquarters.
Even when the judiciary is being disgraced and disparaged this openly and most shamelessly by its own despicable judges, and despite the reputation of judiciary being marred, while the people too are disillusioned and disconcerted over the travesty of justice, yet, if this good governance government cannot understand the damage that is being inflicted, the minister of justice who is in charge is nothing but a ponnayah (an effeminate eunuch)

1. For everyone's information : - Minister of Justice has [legally] no power whatsoever to poke his anything to control matters of the judiciary. People are not aware of these things I guess. The Judiciary is an independent Organ of the State whose members [the Judges] are not answerable to any Minister or to the other two Organs [ Legislature and The Executive,] of the State, but of course accountable to the people of this country. The judiciary is answerable to the Judicial Service Commission [JSC] Chaired by the post of Chief Justice [ex-officio]. The appointment, administration, disciplinary actions of the judicial officers below the High Court are vested with the jsc. I do ot talk about the appointment of the Judges to the Court of Appeal and to the Supreme Court including the post of the Chief Justice.
2. However, in view of the above article and the stinking state of affairs in the judiciary, this is what happens when incompetent, inexperienced,clueless and boneless figures are appointed to the high seats, and this includes the seat of the Chief Justice, when it comes to the administration of justice is concerned and the other is that when people elect wrong people to the political seats and that includes the Presidency/ Prime Minister post in any given country. It is with utmost disgust and sorrow that I pen here at least to beg from this forum His Excellency the President, Prime Minister and His Lordship Chief Justice: Please, please safeguard the judiciary for the sake of your monthly salary you take home. Else, please voluntarily leave your seats. This little memo is not to offend any post, any seat any person but, just to do my duty by becoming a part of the process of leading the way for a better judiciary for the sake of peaceful living of the citizens of our innocent country for me to think of this little note at my last breath. Please, please I beg you all.
