The Hon. (Dr.) Nalinda Jayatissa challenged claims about a Magistrate’s transfer, stating that judicial transfers are handled by the Judicial Service Commission and not by the Government. He requested that the relevant arrest order be tabled or that the allegation be withdrawn, arguing that otherwise it amounts to an accusation of Government interference with the judiciary.

Verbatim record (translated)

Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English

¶ 01 Yes, the Magistrate’s Court. You said the Magistrate was transferred—this is what emerged. We ask you to table the arrest order, or withdraw the story constructed on that. Otherwise, you are alleging Government interference with the judiciary; transfers are by the JSC. We do not control that.
