Former CJ challenges President’s move
.png)
Former Chief Justice Sarath N. Silva claimed yesterday President Maithripala Sirisena should learn the law of the country from the kindergarten level.
Addressing the UPFA election rally in Kurunegala, he said a secretary of a political party could not be removed without an order from the Supreme Court when an election had been declared and therefore, the removal of the UPFA General Susil Premajayantha and Sri Lanka Freedom Party (SLFP) Anura Priyadarshana Yapa were legally not valid.
He said a lower court has no jurisdiction in this regard. Already, he said the elections commissioner had accepted these two as the party secretaries and therefore, a district court could not rule against the election law.
He said the election law could not be changed from a signature of a district judge who was on his way home after finishing duties for the day.

He is only quoting from the rule book. And he never said he deliberately made the wrong decision re Tsunami case. What he said was, had the decision gone the other way (if there was evidence to prove, which it did not), things would have been different.
