Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Sir, I rise to a point of order. The Member made very grave allegations—speaking about all transfers of the Judicial Service Commission and pending cases, and claiming the Chief Justice is bench-fixing, and that he acts as per the NPP. Is the Member, on his responsibility, making that allegation that the Chief Justice is a political partisan? This is a serious charge, Hon. Presiding Member.
