The Judicature Act has been challenged in the Supreme Court by Joint Opposition Parliamentarian Dinesh Gunawardena and Prof, G. L. Peiris.
Gunawardena told the media that the Judicature Act which changes Sri Lanka’s judicial system has been presented to Parliament.
Gunawardana said the Government can legalise the Bribery Commission with the recently constituted Financial Crimes Investigation Division (FCID).This is the very dangerous scenario, he said.
He said the powers granted to the Attorney General to file a case will be granted to the Bribery Commissioner also under this new Judicature Act.
He further said the Attorney General decides in one case and the Bribery Commissioner decides in another case. Hence, in the face of equality, it will become unbalanced and inequal in law.
