Sabaragamuwe University Chancellor Ven Prof Kumburugamuwe Vajira Thera yesterday said the Chief Justice should be shameful of her conduct while holding the top post in the Judiciary. The thera said the case filed by her was by a Bench appointed by her and the judgement was also issued with her approval.
He said she should step down from the post without falling to vicious elements who are conspiring against the country, until the investigation against her is complete. ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ…-She should have informed Parliament that the appointment of the Parliamentary Select Committee (PSC) to conduct investigations over the charges in the impeachment is illegal at the very outset,ƒÆ’‚¢ƒ¢-¡‚¬ƒ”š‚ he said.
The thera said the Chief Justice instead of informing Parliament that the appointment of the PSC was illegal, appeared before it for three days with her lawyers. He said the Chief Justice has understood that the charges against her are on the verge of being proven by the PSC and therefore walked out of it abruptly. The thera said she had more room to prove her innocence.
He said only one lawyer is allowed to represent her before the PSC but three lawyers accompanied her.
