The standoff between the Judicial Services Association and the Bar Association of Sri Lanka over the appointment of Ramanathan Kannan as a High Court judge still remains unresolved with the BASL not taking any action to have the appointment reversed as requested by the JSA. The most serious allegation against the new High Court judge is that he had on an earlier occasion, been recommended for appointment to the judiciary by an unnamed political party.
