AG who bragged of filing action after being silent asked a series of questions by a Lawyer in US

Tuesday 4 of October 2011


Why aren’t action filed against LTTE leaders KP, Karuna, Pillayan against whom there is a host of evidence?

(Lanka-e-News -02.Oct.2011, 11.55P.M.) After the ex AG of Sri Lanka (SL) bragged two days ago when speaking on the case filed against Shavendra Silva in the US courts that he is ready to file two or more cases against those groups who are agitating and mounting charges , a SL Lawyer in New York , US had sent a letter to LeN indicating that he has a number of questions to ask based on the AG’s loud mouthed utterances. The Lawyer wishes not to disclose his name . As we believe these questions posed by this lawyer in New York are relevant to all of us concerned , we append them herein.

The US based Lawyer states, the AG who speaks about his readiness to file counter action to combat the case filed against Shavendra Silva has not made mention of the case filed against the President Rajapakse in the Southern court of New York.

The questions posed to Ex AG and present Cabinet advisor Mohan Peiris are given hereunder :

1. He stated that he can file three law suits, if that is true
(a) where he is going to file? Is it America or Sri Lanka?
(b) For what purpose?
(c) to punish the LTTE leader in criminal nature or to collect compensation for their criminal act?
(d) When did he get the idea of filing a law suit?
(e) Why he could not file the criminal case against the LTTE leaders like Karuna, Pillian and K.P when there are plenty of proof that these people killed and harm our nation?
(f) Why he could not file the civil case against them before Sri Lanka courts ?
(f) Why he could not file any of these cases when he was assumed office as attorney general?Mr. Ex. Attorney General didn’t you have brain that you had all these options when were in the office as attorney General.

Mr. Ex. Attorney General, do you know why the world community accuse Sri Lanka for human rights violation, because they have no faith about attorney general’s office.? ( See the War Crimes Report)

Mr. Ex. Attorney General Can you appear in the United States District Court on behalf of Shavendra Silva? Answer; No. You cannot practice in the United States because you are not a Lawyer who can practice law in the United States. If you are a member with good standing in the Sri Lanka Bar Association, then you know you cannot even give legal advice about American Law, that is called unethical legal practice as a lawyer.
2. Mr. EX. Attorney General do you know who pays money to file?

(a) lawsue against anyone? May be you can file before Sri Lankan courts without money, but you cannot file in the United States. You have to hire a lawyer who appear before the United States District to file a case and has to pay fees. Do you know how much?

3. Who pays legal fees for Shavendra silva’s case. You should pay out of your pocket because you gave wrong legal advice to Sri Lankan government. Because all these people who served Sri Lanka during the War, sent to America with your advice as attorney General during the time you acted as Attorney General. If you gave proper legal advice you could have avoided this mess.

4. Do you know how much Sri Lanka has to legal fees for Shavendra Silva’s case? At lease 500.000 to one million dollars.

5. Now the Sri Lankan Tax payers has to pay the legal cost for Shvendr De Silva case? Do you
think this is a Joke. You should pay all legal expenses for Shavendra’s as compensation for legal malpractice.

6. Do you know Gotabhaya has to come to America if the Shavendr’s case going to trial to prove
that Shavendra (if he claims that he did not do any wrong doing)in his defense, as s witness?

7. We believe that you as a supporter to Rajapakse President is liable for these matters?

8. If you file case against the LTTE in a civil case and obtained monitory award, you can collect
nothing because Sri Lanka Government kees billions of dollars belongs to LTTE and Sri Lanka is stake holder in the law suit.
