(Lanka-e-News -17.March.2015, 8.40PM) It is doubtless that there are so many students around the world who while learning law have worked as pump attendants at fuel pumping stations to earn some money. But it is only in Sri Lanka (SL) there exists a judge who earns by pumping petrol even after becoming a judge . This judge who set fire to the hallowed legal traditions using his own petrol shed even after the government of good governance was installed in power is no less a person than the Colombo chief magistrate Gihan Anura Bandara Pilapitiya alias Gihan Pilapitiya.
Although doing business is absolutely prohibited for judges , this magistrate has started a petrol shed in his village Kalawana . Under the petroleum corporation fuel station agent account No. 104644 an individual in the name of G.A.B. Pilapitiya is registered, and on the 18 th the fuel pumping shed is to be opened. This G.A.B. Pilapitiya is none other than chief magistrate Gihan Pilapitiya.
This magistrate in addition to this crime committed by him with his full knowledge and intentionally has spread the story that he sold this fuel station to one Nimal Welikala when it became public that Gihan Pilapitiya is the owner , in order to conceal his illicit activity. Yet , this fuel station agent is still the judge Gihan Pilapitiya ,and he is scheduled to attend the inauguration of this fuel station on the 18th.
Gihan Pilapitiya who was born on 13 th September 1970 at Delwala , a village in Kalawana is a cousin brother of former deputy minister Abeyratne Pilapitiya.
The nation is earnestly awaiting the judicial service commission to take action against Pilapitiya pertaining to his corrupt and illegal activities brazenly and unashamedly committed while simultaneously holding the exalted office of chief magistrate.
