Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Member, as you know as a lawyer, whether a case is taken up at the Permanent High Court-at-Bar is decided by the Chief Justice and the Judicial Service Commission on the Attorney-General’s application — not by the Minister of Justice or any political authority. I believe you know this. The Chief Justice makes such selections expeditiously.
