The Fundamental Rights (FR) petition filed by Senior Deputy Inspector General of Police (SDIG) Ajith Rohana against his arbitrary and unreasonable transfer has been fixed for September 04 by the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka.
SDIG Ajith Rohana had filed the petition seeking an order announcing as void the arbitrary and unreasonable transfer issued to him.
Stating that the court was set to deliberate another case, the Supreme Court judge bench postponed SDIG Ajith Rohana’s case to September.
In April, Senior Deputy Inspector General of Police Ajith Rohana objected to his transfer approved by the Minister of Public Security Tiran Alles.
The objection was raised in a letter addressed to the Chairman of the National Police Commission Chandra Fernando.
In his letter, the SDIG pointed out that the transfer approved by the Public Security Minister was malicious, arbitrary, and unreasonable.
SDIG Ajith Rohana also revealed that he had been reprimanded by the Public Security Minister over social media reports connecting him to the IGP post and was warned of a transfer over the matter.
In his letter, SDIG Ajith Rohana accused the Public Security Minister of harassing other SDIGs to protect one particular SDIG. (NewsWire)
