Justice Priyantha Jayawardena, who faulted the actions of the respondents including the IGP, also warned that they have committed a punishable offense through these actions.
The Supreme Court, which granted permission for the hearing of a Fundamental Rights (FR) petition filed by the former IP Sudath Mandis against his suspension, had issued an order to pay his salary with effect from March 23, 2022.
The attorneys representing the petitioner, had filed a motion on August 05, that the respondents including the IGP have defaulted implementing the said order.
The Supreme Court, which considered the motion, had issued a notice for five officers including the IGP to appear before the courts today to show cause regarding the matter.(Ada Derana)
