Justice Ratwatte dies

Justice Barnes S.C. Ratwatte (88) brother of late Prime Minister Ms. Sirimavo Bandaranaike expired on Friday, January 9 after a brief illness.

Justice Ratwatte was also the brother of Dr. Seevali Ratwatte, late Dr. Mackie Ratwatte and Clifford Ratwatte, was an old boy of Trinity College, Kandy and the Law College, Colombo.

After passing out as an advocate he was appointed as a Magistrate in 1960 and was later appointed as the Pubic Trustee. In 1974 he was appointed the President of the Appeal Court. He was a distinguished judge who upheld the rule of law and a steward of the independence of judiciary.

Justice Ratwatte retired in 1983 as a judge of the Supreme Court, which year there was a demonstration against judges after a court ruling which embarrassed the then ruling UNP Government.
