Lawyers urge review of Judges’ Retirement Plan  

The Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) has written to Minister of Justice Harshana Nanayakkara regarding the proposed constitutional amendment to extend the retirement age of Supreme Court and Court of Appeal judges.

In its letter, the BASL has requested that an appropriate committee be appointed to conduct a comprehensive study of the proposal and submit a subject-specific report before any further action is taken.
