-CJ Sri Pavan deluded by Bodhi Pooja groups
(Lanka-e-News -23.June.2016, 10.45PM) The applications for appointment of new magistrates and additional district judges to Sri Lanka ‘s judiciary closed on 10 th June 2016. Yet , based on information reaching Lanka e news inside division (judiciary), with the assistance of Ampara high court judge Sumudhu Premachandra , even before the final date of closing of applications , confirmation of appointments to some applicants have already been given.
Premachandra has phoned a judge an intimate friend of his who holds a high post in the Judicial service commission (JSC) and requested to provide opportunities to a number of his friends among those to be appointed as judges . Our information service had confirmed that this high rung officer of the JSC had consented to his request.
Those who know the inside out of the judicial services say , this kind of favoritism is nothing new , and during the time when Sarath N Silva was the chief justice and Chandra Jayaratne was the ex secretary of the JSC since 2001 or thereabout this deplorable system was followed.
Sumudhu Premachandra is a judge who was in the group that offered Bodhi pooja (religious observances ) with great pomp and fuss along with Sarath N .Silva when the latter was masquerading as a great Buddhist follower while practicing all the cardinal sins on earth , in order to conceal all the corrupt and treacherous activities of theirs .Even before Premachandra was confirmed in his appointment by the JSC , with the aid of the Bodhi pooja mask Sarath Silva enabled Premachandra to follow the Master’s degree course in London.
However , after Sarath Silva went on retirement , Asoka De Silva who replaced him as chief justice did not continue with the Bodhi Pooja ‘circus’ and hypocritical charades , because by then , this Bodhi pooja hypocrisy and masquerades had incurred the displeasure among those in the judicial circles. Besides, Asoka De Silva was not a Buddhist.
In any event no sooner Asoka De Silva was appointed as CJ ,than he visited the Dalada Maligawa to meet the Ven. Mahanayakes. Premachandra the Kandy magistrate then having got wind of CJ’s arrival ahead , and who is highly skilled in the art of hypocrisy , along with a group of his henchmen also appeared at the Malwatte Vihara.
Asoka De Silva who noticed the magistrate inquired, ‘what are you doing here ? Are the courts closed today ? It is now 9.30 a.m.’ and ordered Premachandra to immediately go to the courts. Poor Premachandra who went with great hopes to fawn on the new CJ , got blown off with those remarks.
Now , the latest victim who is misled by Sarath Silva’s Bodhi pooja group notorious for masquerades , piety charades and hypocritical religious parades is Sripavan the present CJ.
This group of henchmen (judges) alias hangers on now swarming around Sripavan have now revived the Bodhi pooja hypocrisy ‘circus’ of Premachandra and group in the precincts of the courts again.
In the light of this portentous situation gripping the judiciary ,those of the legal profession including luminaries are naturally concerned about the rapid deterioration of the already degenerate judicial standards in the country amidst pimps, elephant rogues , rapists, and rascals creeping into posts of judges even before selections are duly made and examinations held , as highlighted in the earlier paragraphs . It is their carefully considered opinion the end result of these hypocritical circuses and religious charades too will be , courting total disaster for the judiciary.

This is sheer jealousy on Dr. Sumudu Premachandra to tarnish his image; he is the only presiding judge in Sri Lanka, who holds a Doctorate (Ph.D) and some of judicial officer are in jealous about him, because he will be a possible competitor in promotion to higher judiciary, must have given wrong information to E News. It is true he had been given a World Bank scholarship on merits and out of 15 scholars (Judges); he is the only one who reached the pinnacle of Ph.D. He did legal anthropology which is rare subject in worldwide. This new has some ulterior motives...
