New twist in Thilanga case
A complaint made by a group of lawyers against the additional magistrate who discharged Sri Lanka Cricket and Sri Lanka Telecom Chief Thilanga Sumathipala on December 8 Poya day has been referred to the Bribery Commission by Chief Justice Sarath N Silva, legal sources said.

They said the Chief Justice took this action after a group of lawyers handed over a petition to him, asking him to probe the action of the additional magistrate and the lawyers who appeared for Mr. Sumathipala.

The petition, which was handed over a few days ago, called on the Chief Justice to take appropriate action against the lawyers, Senior Criminal Lawyer Daya Perera P.C. told The Sunday Times.
