Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Madam Deputy Chairperson of Committees, briefly: the previous Member alleged that a Minister interfered in transfers of judges. In fact, transfers are done by the Judicial Service Commission chaired by the Chief Justice. Hence, the Hon. Archchuna’s point is misplaced.
