SL Chief Justice found guilty of three charges

Colombo: Sri Lanka’s Chief Justice has been found guilty of three charges in impeachment proceedings by a parliamentary panel, a government official said on Saturday, in a case which has sparked opposition protests and raised international concerns.
It was not immediately clear if Shirani Bandaranayake, Sri Lanka’s first female head of the Supreme Court has to step down effectively from now or has to wait until Parliament debates the impeachment investigations in January.

Parliament Speaker Chamal Rajapaksa appointed an 11-member select committee, seven of them from the ruling party, to investigate 14 charges against Bandaranayake ranging from not disclosing her wealth to professional misconduct.
