Sept 22, Colombo: Supreme Court of Sri Lanka today hearing a fundamental rights petition filed by the Ceylon Workers Congress on recently conducted census on Tamil migrants to Colombo, ruled that Police Media Spokesman, SSP Ranjith Gunasekara has ventured out of his jurisdiction.

Chief Justice, Sarath N. Silva addressing the Courts has said that Police Media Spokesman, SSP Ranjith Gunasekara got involved in an ‘unwanted programme’ which has created unrest among the citizens.

“Such census should be conducted after receiving the approval from the Attorney General’s Department and would require the Supreme Court’s decision to dispatch Tamil migrants back to North and Eastern parts of Sri Lanka,” Justice Silva has stated.
