The Hon. M. Nizam Kariapper, PC
Hon. M. Nizam Kariapper noted that clauses 2733 to 2735 allow the Minister to make regulations on taking evidence abroad. He urged that such regulations should not be limited to embassies or high commissions, but could also cover judicial offices such as courthouses or chambers, with the Minister acting in consultation with the Chief Justice.
Verbatim record (translated)
Machine-translated from Sinhala / Tamil / English¶ 01 Hon. Presiding Member, I will take 30 seconds—no more.
¶ 02 Under clauses 2733 to 2735, the Minister can make appropriate Regulations. Those should not be confined only to Embassies; they could also include judicial offices—court houses, chambers—abroad, to take evidence. At the appropriate time, the Minister, in consultation with the Chief Justice, can do it. It is not yet prescribed as Embassies or High Commissions; it must come under Regulation. Hon. Deputy Minister, I wanted to draw your attention to that.
