SLFP lawyers shocked over tragic death of HC Judge Statement issued by the SLFP Lawyers Association on the tragic death of the Colombo High Court Judge Sarath Ambepitiya. It is with shock and sorrow that we received the news of the tragic death of the High Court Judge of Colombo Mr. Sarath Ambepitiya. The late Mr. Sarath Ambepitiya was a fearless and impartial Judge. He was an ornament to the judiciary. His death at this time is a challenge to the entire judiciary and the Bar. This challenge has been launched by groups who wish to discredit and destroy the judicial arm of the state. This type of action opens a new and dangerous chapter to the Sri Lankan Judiciary. The law abiding citizen and the rule of law that exists in a democracy is in jeopardy. We condemn this action on the assailants. We appeal to the law enforcement authorities to apprehend the suspects and bring them to justice while appreciating the prompt action taken by President Chandrika Kumaratunga in this regard. We urge the Government to give protection to judges and destroy these crime syndicates. We express our heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family of the late Mr. Sarath Ambepitiya. |
