President’s Counsel Kaushalya Nawaratne has resigned from his position as the President of the Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) with immediate effect.
The Bar Council of the Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL) has unanimously called for the resignation of its President, Kaushalya Nawaratne PC, following a report by a five-member committee.
The committee, which was appointed to investigate the JAICA fund controversy, found that Nawaratne had failed to act with transparency in handling the contract between the BASL and JICA, a violation of the trust placed in him as President. (NewsWire)
