Sacrosanct SC too turned topsy turvy : Never in legal history in the whole world a SC became this illegal !

(Lanka-e-News- 19.Dec.2014, 11.00PM) It is with a sense of rude shock and deep sorrow that we have to reveal this news that the sacrosanct supreme court (SC) of Sri Lanka (SL) was also transformed day before yesterday(17) into an illegal Institution. According to the established laws of the country , the number of judges including the chief justice of the SC cannot exceed eleven in number , and none can be appointed in excess of this number.

Justice Saleem Marsoof of the SC was to retire yesterday (18) as he has reached the retirement age. His 65 th birthday was on the 17 th , that is day before yesterday and was entitled to perform his official duties that day . Besides , as he wished to grace the bench on that day prior to retirement , he performed his judicial duty 17th December.

Meanwhile knowingly or unknowingly , or based on the wanton indifference to laws , appeal court judge Upali Abeyratne better known among the legal circles as ‘pissu poosa’ ( mad cat) took oaths as SC judge 17th before MaRa to replace Saleem Marsoof. It is significant to note that this judge Abeyratne is not only a pissu poosa , but also had another (dis) qualification – a disgraceful lickspittle and lackey of MaRa. Hence , as is the common practice under MaRa’s reign this (dis)qualification stood Abeyratne in good stead , and latter was given priority and preference over two judges above him in seniority in the SC.

In consequence of the characteristic rash and ruffian attitude of MaRa even overriding court traditions and rules , the number of judges yesterday became 12 . In other words the court too was overloaded just like a passenger bus carrying commuters on the footboard, and MaRa’s bulky Parliament of hulking government representatives. Abeyratne who was at the center of this muddle having no choice closed himself inside a room when the other judges came to congratulate him .

Now , the most pertinent question is : can the judgments delivered day before yesterday be valid by a SC that was itself illegal in law ?

AHow and by what means can a SC that is illegal be restored to its legally valid status ?

Since such illegalities in the judicial sphere have not taken place anywhere in the world before , there exists no precedent that can be followed , and because such mad actions are witnessed only in SL under the reign of MaRa , the country that is a ‘miracle in the making’ , based on MaRa’s debacle theory .
