CJ’s position gone to the dog!

 Thursday, 28 August 2014 

The picture of the business card posted here was given to a staff reporter of ours by a porter at Fortress Hotel in Galle. He was given it by a woman in mark of gratitude for his having loading the baggage of her and her friends to vehicles. After reading the business card, he found it of no use to him and gave it to our media friend.

After reading it, our media friend became surprised and asked the porter as to who had given it to him. He had shown him the woman. She had been with a group of foreigners and distributing the cards in her hand. Immediately, our media friend made inquiries and found out about it.

The woman who had distributed the business cards is none other than Priyanthi Peiris, the wife of Sri Lanka’s fourth citizen, chief justice Mohan Peiris. She had been accompanied by members of the SAARC judges association, representing judiciaries of their respective countries. Almost all of them were having the business card of the CJ.

The insult caused in this is that the CJ of the country cannot have his mobile phone number correctly printed in his business card. The phone number is sans one digit. The cards had been distributed among foreigners without taking a careful look at them

The country’s CJ, like a retail seller, is sending and receiving emails through his sltnet.lk email address. At least, he cannot do it through the Supreme Court website. After swindling the CJ position from 43rd CJ Shirani Bandaranayake, he is acting in such a hasty manner, this business card shows in just one example.
