“I strongly suspect that those who do wish to suppress the serious misconduct charges levelled against Mohan Peiris, are behind the threat posed to my life. Therefore, I once again request the police to investigate into this matter without delay and notify me with the outcome.” says\u00a0Nagananda Kodituwakku, the lawyer who challenged\u00a0Mohan Pieris<\/a><\/span>\u2019s dishonesty and misconduct, concerning the defrauding of\u00a0619 million rupees of Public Funds<\/a><\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Counsel\u00a0Nagananda Kodituwakku<\/a><\/span> has made the second complaint to the police regarding the threats he\u00a0received.<\/p>\n

On\u00a0February 1, 2013\u00a0Justice\u00a0Sathya Hettige<\/a><\/span>\u00a0refused to grant leave to proceed in a Fundamental Rights application challenging the misconduct of Mohan Pieris during his tenure as Attorney General.<\/p>\n

“Action is being taken to file papers challenging the single\u00a0judge ruling in (SCFR\/536\/2010) refusing leave to proceed, which is\u00a0obviously flawed since that ruling clearly violated the Section 126\u00a0(2) of the Constitution, which specify that presence of two judges is\u00a0required to consider a FR application for leave to proceed.\u00a0\u00a0I\u00a0believe that may be the reason for further threats.”\u00a0Nagananda Kodituwakku told the Colombo Telegraph.<\/p>\n

We published below the complaint in full;<\/p>\n

I, Nagananda Kodituwakku, 58 years of age, a British Citizen, Sinhalese, Buddhist, Attorney-at-Law and Solicitor (England & Wales) by profession, domiciled in England and currently in Sri Lanka, at 99, Subadrarama Road Nugegoda, do hereby state as follows.<\/p>\n

I make this statement further to the statements already made to the police on 23rd<\/sup> January 2013 and 31st<\/sup> January 2013 about the threats posed to my life, apparently for representing the Petitioner in the Fundamental Rights Case SCFR\/536\/2010, that challenged the alleged dishonestly and gross misconduct of Mohan Peiris, the then Attorney General.<\/p>\n

I have already reported to the Police about threat to my life posed by electronic mail by somebody identified themselves \u2018deshapremi\u2019<\/em> and provided the details of their email address, requesting to initiate inquiries into the matter. And today I received another email from the same group, threatening me to abandon the case altogether (a copy of the email received today enclosed herewith).<\/p>\n

On 01st<\/sup> February 2013, The Court declined to grant leave to proceed for the case referred to above, and as per the instructions of the Petitioner in the case, a revision application would be presented to the Court in few days, seeking reversal of the order made by the Court, for the obvious reasons set out in the application.<\/p>\n

I strongly suspect that those who do wish to suppress the serious misconduct charges levelled against Mohan Peiris, are behind the threat posed to my life. Therefore, I once again request the police to investigate into this matter without delay and notify me with the outcome.<\/p>\n
