The Hon. (Mrs.) Rohini Kumari Wijerathna
Hon. (Mrs.) Rohini Kumari Wijerathna raised concerns about delays in child-related cases that remain pending for years. She asked whether existing courts could allocate a specific day each week to hear and conclude such cases more quickly, instead of relying only on establishing new courts or recruiting additional officials. She sought clarification on whether a systematic mechanism exists to expedite these hearings.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Minister, many child-related cases linger for years. Rather than only creating new courts or recruiting more officials, could existing courts dedicate, say, one day a week to hear and conclude these cases faster? Is there scope to expedite hearings systematically?
