If you count the number of days wasted (human hours) on this 1million, do we have anything to say on this. Pure failure in our judicial system.

Delays are to make money for the lawyers, it is a big business. If you want a tax free income, be a lawyer, tuition master and a doctor with a private practice.

Will she marry you now. She has passed 13 years in her life. The man is always young. If you don’t marry her, give back the money with interest.

I have no doubt the complainant woman like many other women would have willingly gone with Ranjan with a hope that he will marry her. When Ranjan had too many he couldn't decide whom to marry and he stayed single. Complainant brought in the One Million on advice received to corner Ranjan

If Ranjan had really obtained money promising to marry her, he must return the money.

This complaint was fabricated by then President Mahinda Rajapakshe paying a huge sum to the teacher in Kandy. Ranjan has nothing to do with this woman. Now the truth had come viral.

Lawyers of both parties must have gone home smiling, but, sad that their line of income through this has now come to an END.
