BASL in writing requests immediate investigation against erring Gangodawila judge Kanishka !

(Lanka-e-News -07.June.2016, 10.30PM)  The Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) through the Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has sent a letter to the chief Justice (CJ) requesting him to conduct an investigation immediately into the flagrant professional misconduct of Kanishka Wijeratne the Gangodawila magistrate responsible for grave miscarriage of justice ,and who  shamelessly insulted  the  judiciary including  the  entire legal fraternity  and the bench on a scale never witnessed before in the country ‘s history , in order to save a notorious robber judge  Thilina Gamage the Elephant rogue, based on reports reaching Lanka e news inside information division.

The BASL letter under the signature of its president Jeffrey Alagaratnam containing the request was received by CJ yesterday evening , LeN inside information division sources confirmed. 

The charges leveled against Kanishka Wjeratne most uncaringly and erringly   prostituted his official position  , and made the exalted legal profession look the oldest but most frowned upon profession in the world- prostitution ,by his shameless and disgraceful  official misconduct are hereunder …….

1. It is a well and widely known fact (the whole country  is aware) that Thilina Gamage and Kanishka the two judges are most close and intimate pals. Hence , Kanishka should have steered clear of this case based on legal ethics and norms , and during the proceedings the state counsel representing the Attorney General too pinpointed this in so many words. Yet judge Kanishka based on ulterior motives subverting the legal practices ,norms and ethics   , with the sole and whole objective of rescuing his elephant thief friend Thilina, undertook to hear this case himself and pass verdicts sending a wave of rude shock across the entire country. This professional misconduct is a flagrant violation even of the sacred oath he took when being sworn in as a judge .

2. Kanishka Wijeratne who showed special preference to Thilina the accused heard the case until as late as 7.00 p.m – something that had never ever taken place any day in any court in Sri Lanka.

3. Providing facilities to the  accused (elephant rogue Thilina) to hide himself ,by permitting him to  enter and leave court using the elevator  that is exclusively meant for judges.

4. Providing facilities to the gangs of  Thilina the accused to come inside  the court without  any  hindrances , and permitting them to freely appear within. Even the media at that moment objected to this.

5.Unlawfully allowing accused Thilina to go home free and come back on the following day to fulfill the bail conditions 

It is now unsure following these wrongful procedures and unlawful actions whether these facilities and concessions are going to be granted to the other accused too by this court in the future .  Besides , because the media had given immense publicity to these calculated judicial aberrations and corruption , the faith and confidence people repose in the judiciary  have been  eroded completely .

In the circumstances , we request  the chief Justice  to conduct  an immediate investigation against the judge through the JSC.
