The Women Parliamentarians' Caucus expressed solidarity and extended its full support today to Bimshani Jasin Arachchi, Sri Lanka’s first female Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) against whom a petition was filed by her male colleagues seeking annulment of her promotion.
Early this week, the Supreme Court has fixed the date to hear the Fundamental Rights (FR) petition seeking annulment of the promotion of Bimshani Jasin Arachchi, Sri Lanka’s first female Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG). The Court is to hear the petition on May 18.
A group of 32 Senior Superintendents of Police (SSP) sought the court directive to declare that the promotion was made in contrary to the standard promotion process therefore it should be declared as illegal. Among the petitioners is the Head of Legal Division of police SSP Ruwan Gunasekera.
The Inspector-General of Police (IGP), the National Police Commission, the Attorney General, and the recently appointed female DIG of Police Bimshani Jasin Arachchi have been named as respondents.
