Has The Political Victimization Commission Committed Serious Offences?
Basil Fernando
The recommendations by a Commission appointed by the President, recommending that a large number of criminal cases that have been filed in the Courts of Sri Lanka be withdrawn, is the deadliest blow that has been dealt to the administration of justice in Sri Lanka. If this recommendation is put into effect, the consequence would be that of replacing the Judiciary of Sri Lanka with anyone that the President may choose to appoint in order to annul any of the proceedings that are instituted in a court of law. Thus, it would be impossible for the system of the administration of justice to recover from this blow if these recommendations are allowed to be put into effect.
