Judge should not pay compensation of 200m from Public Money. This compensation needs to be paid from each Policemen's salary by cutting 10% of their monthly wage to meet this amount. Only then will each and every Policemen realize the gravity of their arrogance and the need to be humble to citizens of this country.

These mutts will ask for more bribes from the public to cover your proposed pay deduction. So it’s better to take it from the state who can easily borrow from international institutions as a loan which is a yearly thing for SL. These loan repayments will be for the following generations to worry about.

Knowing the status of the judiciary in Sri Lanka, the petitioner will not receive a favourable judgement.
