SC judges to boycott if CJ who committed un-bailable offence of treason continues tomorrow : arrest on 20 th ?

(Lanka-e-News- 18.Jan.2015, 11.15PM) Based on reports from inside sources of the highest courts in Sri Lanka , all Judges of the supreme court and appeal courts have decided to demonstrate their opposition as professionals against the chief justice (CJ) Mohan Peiris who is accused of conspiring to rig the election results of the recently held Presidential elections, destabilize the country and capture power illicitly , and therefore guilty of treason by trying to deprive the fundamental democratic right to franchise of the people of a sovereign state.

Already the Bar association of Sri Lanka (BASL) , the only professional association which comprises nearly 30, 000 lawyers Islandwide adopted a resolution on the 17 th (Saturday) unanimously demanding the resignation of CJ Mohan Peiris.

Reliable sources from within the highest courts of SL reveal that if Mohan Peiris continues as CJ stubbornly despite these demands for him to quit , the judges of the supreme court have decided to boycott him , and they have notified him of this already.

According to another report , the judges of all courts including the Supreme court, appeal courts, high courts (high courts of the provinces too ), magistrate courts , district courts and Labour tribunals, have decided to boycott their professional duties on the lines of trade union action until the CJ resigns . However they have agreed that before they proceed with taking stern action Mohan Peiris be given some breathing space to leave of his own accord honorably.

Following the complaint made to the CID by minister of foreign affairs Mangala Samaraweera that when the Presidential election results were being released , a group including ex President Mahinda Rajapakse from Temple Trees conspired to commit a crime against the state via capturing power illicitly by imposing emergency regulations Islandwide and annulling the election results, the CID had launched an investigation now on the instructions given by the attorney general .

The legal fraternity and organizations of the legal sphere had decided that Mohan Peiris continuing henceforth as CJ and chief of the judicial service commission are therefore not only illegal , and immoral but is professionally unethical in view of the grave charges leveled against him of conspiracy to commit a most grace crime against the state -treason, informed sources at Hultsdorf disclosed.

After recording the statements of the IGP , attorney general and the army commander , which form part of the ongoing investigation , Mohan Peiris is to be arrested on the 20 th based on charges of conspiring to incite and create an environment that could have led to a de stabilization of the country and unleashing a blood bath , as well as for conducting himself in a manner that vilifies the legal profession and the judicial courts.

Why not arrest MR and Gota as well. Conspirancy was not done alone by CJ. Get the legal things sorted out and arrest them
