(Lanka-e-News -23.July.2016, 11.30PM) Udaya Gammanpila M.P. who was recently remanded over a cheating case involving many millions of rupees , commented , in the North what exists and are in operation are still courts of the ‘Tigers ’ thereby condemning and ridiculing the sacrosanct judicial courts of Sri Lanka , despite being a lawyer himself.
At a media conference held on the 21 st , he said most irresponsibly and outrageously that the judicial court of the North granting bail to the leader of the students association after his surrendering in connection with the Jaffna University incident is wrongful . While the students charged with ragging at the Kelaniya University students are not enlarged on bail the Jaffna court that granted bail to the student leader is a ‘court of the Tigers,’ he asserted.
Going further he analyzed that his allegation is not a contempt of court based on his knowledge of law and added ,he has a right to criticize the verdict of a court.
Lanka e news which knows about Gammanplia more as a racketeer and less as a lawyer ( black coated shark) inquired from a former judge of the Supreme Court (SC) about his stupid utterance, when the honorable judge replied ,Gammanpila is distorting the laws , and he has certainly committed contempt of court .
According to the retired SC judge , criticizing a decision of the court does not constitute contempt of court, but if that is done with a ‘hidden motive’ it is tantamount to committing contempt of court . Moreover , describing a judicial court by the name ‘ court of the Tigers’ cannot be interpreted as criticizing a court decision, rather it is absolutely and clearly ‘contempt of court’ he emphasized.
It is to be noted that in regard to the Kelaniya students , it is the Kelaniya University that delivered the decision , whereas , pertaining to the Jaffna student leader , it was the Jaffna court that decided. Hence making a comparison of the verdicts given by judges of two courts of different zones is wrongful , the ex SC judge pointed out.
Above all , Gammanpila is a lawyer , and he cannot therefore criticize court judgments. If he has any grouses , what should be done is make an appeal to a higher court , the former SC judge noted.
A court decision can usually be found fault with ,by retired judges , by recognized legal analysts who have written fair amount of books on law, and by the media that are over a time making reasonable critical dissections regarding law and courts . Therefore Gammanpila’s remarks constitute contempt of court , the ex judge clearly stated.
In addition ,Gammanpila at the media briefing had criticized the appearance of senior lawyer Sumenthiran TNA M.P. in court on behalf of the Jaffna University students by calling him as an extremist politician appearing on behalf of political extremism.
When Lanka e news inquired from a senior lawyer in this regard , he had an interesting story to relate about Gammanpila the brief-less lawyer who is of late reaching new milestones in cheating and racketing and not in the legal profession……
Udaya Gammanpila was one who was only carrying the files for senior lawyer Manohara Silva ,and had never submitted (submission) a case before court , whereas Sumenthiran had submitted (submission) 300 to 400 controversial Sri Lankan cases , and won many of them . Besides Sumenthiran is an honorable reputed lawyer .On the other hand , if Gammanpila can show one file he has submitted , the senior lawyer speaking to Lanka e news said, he would resign from his profession. Hence , it is better if Gammanpila without blabbering and bluffing on what he does not know , and without stoking racism among the people remains silent for his own good and the country , the senior lawyer noted.
How Gammanpila ‘lawyer’ (the racketeer who was remanded over a colossal fraud recently) , condemned sacrosanct court and thereby committed contempt of court can be heard hereunder .
