Abayakoon, J. This is an appeal preferred by the 1st defendant-appellant (hereinafter referred to as the 1st defendant) on the basis of being aggrieved of the judgment dated 30-06-2017 pronounced by the learned Judge of the Commercial High Court of Colombo in Case No. HCC/470/2011/MR, which was determined in favour of the plaintiff of the said action. This is a matter where the plaintiff-respondent (hereinafter referred to as the plaintiff) instituted proceedings before the Commercial High Court of Colombo to recover a sum equivalent to United States Dollars 96,000 (Rs. 11,000,000/=) and for other related reliefs as sought for in the plaint dated 27-10-2011. At the hearing of the appeal, this Court had the benefit of listening to the oral submissions of the learned Counsel who represented the parties, as well as the privilege of considering the written submissions tendered to Court by the parties in order to determine the appeal. The case of the plaintiff urged before the trial Court can be summarized in the following manner. He is a Korean national who came to Sri Lanka in the year 2010 to establish a business venture and to enter into a transaction for the export of copper to South Korea. Page 4 of 10 He has been informed by one Ranasinghe, whom he came to know while in South Korea, that the 1st defendant is engaged in exporting copper, which has resulted in the plaintiff, together with the said Ranasinghe, meeting the 1st defendant at his house. After having shown about three tonnes of copper stored in his house, the plaintiff has been made to believe that the 1st defendant is capable of supplying copper, which in turn has resulted in the plaintiff entering into an agreement with the 1st defendant for him to export 15 tonnes of copper to the port of Busan in South Korea. Accordingly, having signed the agreement (marked P-01 at the trial) for the said purpose, the plaintiff has gotten in touch with his father’s company in South Korea and has transferred USD 96,000 to the personal bank account of the 1st defendant. It had been the position of the plaintiff that although P-01 appears to be a transaction entered between two companies, it was he who entered into the agreement with the 1st defendant on behalf of his father’s company and arranged for the payment. The plaintiff has also established at the trial that although the 1st defendant had signed the agreement on behalf of a company called Vilasa Oseas PLC, it had been a company that had been struck off from the Register of Companies on 12-01-2010, which was more than 10 months before the said agreement was entered into on 03-11-2010. The fact that the personal account number 094010003431 belonging to the 1st defendant at the Minuwangoda branch of the Hatton National Bank was credited with a sum equivalent to USD 96,000 from a bank in Korea as stated by the plaintiff in his evidence was not a disputed fact at the trial, although the only admission recorded in that relation has been as to the existence of the bank account in the 1st defendant’s name. However, the 1st defendant has failed to supply the agreed 15 tonnes of copper or has failed to return the money, which has resulted in the plaintiff instituting this action. Page 5 of 10 The position taken up by the plaintiff in his evidence has been that the 2nd defendant named in the action was the wife of the 1st defendant, and part of the money credited to the bank account of the 1st defendant has been used by the 2nd defendant of the High Court action for her own use with the connivance of the 1st defendant. The plaintiff has called the earlier mentioned Ranasinghe as a witness on his behalf, where he has substantiated the evidence of the plaintiff as to the matters that led to the deposit of money into the account of the 1st defendant and his failure to supply copper as agreed. The position taken up by both the defendants at the trial had been that the agreement marked P-01 has been a one entered between a Korean company and a local company where the 1st defendant was not a party, and the signature in that agreement was not the 1st defendant’s signature, and that it was a fraudulent document. It has been contended further that there was nothing to show that it was the plaintiff who deposited the money since he was not a party to the agreement, and there was no authorization from the company that deposited the money authorizing the plaintiff to sue on behalf of the company, and hence, the plaintiff has no locus standi to proceed with this action. Apart from the above positions, the 1st defendant has also taken up the stand that the plaintiff has failed to show that the local company had a special permit required to export copper to South Korea. In his evidence, the 1st defendant has claimed that he entered into an agreement, which he has marked and produced as V-01, between himself and the plaintiff, who only acted as the agent of a Korean company named DAE-HEUNG-TRADE, and has denied that he signed the document marked P-01. Explaining the reason as to why he signed the document he produced as V-01, it has been claimed that it was signed in order to facilitate a Korean company to remit money to Sri Lanka, and since the plaintiff or the earlier mentioned Ranasinghe had no company in Sri Lanka, and as he was promised Rs. 150,000/- as a commission, he signed the same in order to facilitate the Page 6 of 10 plaintiff to run a business in Sri Lanka. He has also claimed that he did not know what the business was, but has stated that after he signed the document, he came to know that the business was a one related to copper. In the impugned judgment, it is manifestly clear that the learned Judge of the Commercial High Court has considered the evidence placed before the Court by both the parties in its totality in order to come to a finding whether the plaintiff has established his case, or whether the defendant’s stand should succeed. With that in mind, the learned trial Judge has considered the evidence in the balance of probabilities, which is the standard of proof required in a civil suit. In view of the undisputed fact that the 1st defendant received a sum equivalent to USD 96,000 to his account, and also the undisputed fact that no export of copper has taken place, the learned High Court Judge has proceeded to consider the evidence in that context, being mindful of the issues raised by the parties, while reaching his conclusions. In this process, the learned High Court Judge has considered the evidence of the 1st defendant where he has claimed that he had no knowledge of exporting copper to South Korea when the money was remitted to his account, but went on the belief that it was only to facilitate the plaintiff to have money in Sri Lanka to conduct his business. However, as correctly observed by the learned High Court Judge, the answer of the 1st defendant filed in Court was in complete contrast to the stand taken by him in his evidence. In his answer, he has taken up the position that he agreed to act as an intermediary on behalf of the Sri Lankan company Vilasa Oseas PLC, where he was a director, and the plaintiff, who acted as an agent of the Korean company in order to supply 15 tonnes of copper locally. It has been claimed that he reached an agreement only in that regard with the Korean company. Page 7 of 10 Having considered and analysed the evidence placed before the Court, the learned High Court Judge has come to a finding that the evidence of the 1st defendant cannot be relied upon as to the manner the transaction occurred, for which I have no reason to disagree. The learned High Court Judge has also considered the stand of the 1st defendant where he has claimed that he never signed the agreement marked P-01, but only signed the contract he marked as V-01. The learned High Court Judge has drawn his attention to the fact that the 1st defendant, who claims that the document marked P-01 was a fraudulent document, has failed to take any steps to establish that fact before the Court. Having considered the contents of P-01 and V-01, it has been determined that both the documents have been signed for the same purpose of supplying copper as stated by the plaintiff, and the document marked P-01 was the soft offer letter, and V-01 was the sales agency agreement entered between the plaintiff as the agent of his father’s company in Korea and the 1st defendant. It has been determined that since at the time of signing the said document, the company which the 1st defendant claims that he represented was not in existence, the 1st defendant has entered into the agreement in his personal capacity. The learned High Court Judge has also made a note of the fact that when the 1st defendant was arrested and produced before the Magistrate Court in relation to a complaint lodged by the plaintiff to the police of this transaction on the basis that a fraud has been committed, at no point the 1st defendant has claimed that the documents produced by the plaintiff to the police are fraudulent documents. The argument that the plaintiff has no locus standi to institute an action against the defendants as argued before this Court has also been a matter considered by the learned High Court Judge in his judgment. Page 8 of 10 It has been determined that at all times relevant to this transaction, it was the plaintiff who had acted on behalf of his father’s company, and it was on his behalf that USD 96,000 has been remitted to the 1st defendant’s personal bank account. Having considered and analysed the facts and the circumstances specific to the matter, the learned trial Judge has come to a firm finding that the plaintiff is entitled to sue the 1st defendant based on the agreement reached between the parties. The learned President’s Counsel who represented the plaintiff-respondent made extensive submissions both oral and written, regarding an agent’s right to sue upon contracts. At this juncture, I would like to cite the judgment made available to this Court by the learned President’s Counsel in that regard, which I find relevant. In the case of Jack Hunt Vs. R. C. Wright, Supreme Court of Iowa, United States - dated 17 November 1964, it was held; 1. Right of an agent to sue on a contract for disclosed principal – if an agent has a beneficial interest in a contract executed for a disclosed principal he may sue in his own name. 2. Nominal and real party interest – the law looks beyond the nominal parties to the real parties in interest, and determined the case according to the rights of the latter. 3. Real party in interest – a party is to be regarded as the real party in interest whenever a payment to him would protect the defendant from the claims of third persons. I am of the view that the principles discussed in the above-mentioned case is directly applicable to the facts and the circumstances of the case under appeal. It is abundantly clear that although the money had been transferred by a Korean company owned by the father of the plaintiff to the account of the 1st defendant for him to supply copper, the actual party in interest had been the Page 9 of 10 plaintiff, and the actual transaction had been between the plaintiff and the 1st defendant. Under the circumstances, it is my considered view that there exists no basis to argue that the plaintiff has no locus standi to sue the defendants in order to recover the money paid to the 1st defendant on the basis that he failed to abide by the agreement to export 15 tonnes of copper to Korea. I find that the learned High Court Judge has well considered all the relevant legal aspects in that regard and has come to a correct finding with sound reasoning that the plaintiff has locus standi to maintain this action, for which I again find no reason to disagree. In the impugned judgment, the learned High Court Judge has given extra attention to the claim of the 1st defendant that it was a 3rd party called Millapitiya that agreed to supply copper, and that he paid Rs. 7,000,000/- to him, to conclude that such a claim has no basis, and it was only a claim to justify the 1st defendant’s failure to supply copper as agreed. Since this is a determination that has been reached after having considered the evidence with utmost care, I find that the learned High Court Judge was correct when he reached the said determination. When it comes to the argument that the money was never demanded by the Korean company from the 1st defendant, I find no merit under any circumstances to sustain such an argument. The plaintiff’s evidence is clear and unambiguous that he, on numerous occasions, demanded from the 1st defendant to abide by the agreement to send 15 tonnes of copper to Korea or else to return the money. I am of the view that the demand has been well established before the trial Court. For the reasons as considered above, I find no reason to interfere with the judgment of the learned Commercial High Court Judge, which is a judgment pronounced after having considered the evidence placed before the Court by both sides in its correct perspective, and after having given sound reasons as to his conclusions. Page 10 of 10 Accordingly, the appeal is dismissed. The judgment pronounced on 30-06-2017 is hereby affirmed. The 1st defendant shall pay a sum of Rs. 100,000/- as costs of this appeal to the plaintiff. I hold that the plaintiff is entitled to recover his costs in relation to the High Court suit as well.

Argued on : 20-03-2025 Written Submissions : 11-07-2023 (By the Petitioners) : 04-04-2025 (By the Respondents) Decided on : 31-07-2025 Sampath B. Abayakoon, J. This is an application filed by the petitioners on 16-06-2020, alleging that the fundamental rights guaranteed to them in terms of Article 12(1) and/or Article 14(1)(g) of the Constitution have been infringed and/or continued to be infringed by the actions or inactions of any one or more of the respondents named, and seeking redress as sought for in the petition. When this matter was supported for Leave to Proceed on 23-02-2022, this Court, having considered the relevant facts and the circumstances, as well as the relevant law, decided to grant Leave to Proceed on the alleged infringement of Article 12(1) of the Constitution. The said Article of the Constitution which defines the right to equality reads as follows; 12(1). All persons are equal before the law and are entitled to the equal protection of the law. At the hearing of this application, this Court heard the submissions of the learned President’s Counsel for the petitioners, and that of the learned Deputy Solicitor General (DSG) for the respondents. This Court also had the benefit of considering the written submissions tendered in determining this application. Page 10 of 27 The facts that led to this application can be summarized in the following manner. At the time this application was filed before this Court, all the petitioners were serving police officers of the Sri Lanka police who held different ranks, although some may have retired from the service by now. The petitioners belong to a group of police officers who had been injured resulting from terrorist activities on different occasions, while being engaged in their official duties, and continued to be in police service after their recovery. These are police officers who had earned at least one promotion after they sustained the said injuries. Having considered the necessity to grant special relief to those police officers who had received injuries due to terrorist activities, the then relevant Cabinet Minister has presented the Cabinet Memorandum No. 10/2015 dated 26-032015 to the Cabinet of Ministers proposing granting of relief. While classifying them under three categories, [document marked P5(a)] the Minister had sought Cabinet approval for the implementation of the said proposal. For the better understanding of the scheme of relief, I will now reproduce the said recommendations in its full, which reads as follows. න ිර්දේශය 1. එල්.ටී.ටී.ඊ. ත්‍රස්තවාදී ක්‍රියා ද ්තුදවන් වවද්‍ය ද ්තුන් මත 2014.05.18 දිනට දෙර විශ්‍රාම ගන්වනලද්‍ ස අනතුරටෙත්වූ දින සිට 2014.05.18 දින ද්‍ක්වා උසස්ීම් දනාලද්‍ න ිලධාරීන්/නිලධාරිනියන් සඳ ා ඊළඟ තනතුරට උසස් කිරීමටත්ව, 2. දමම කාලය තුළ අනතුරට ෙසු උසස්ීමක් ලබා ඇති නිලධාරීන්/නිලධාරිනියන් සඳ ා එම උසස්ීම අනතුරට ෙත්වූ දිනට දෙරද්‍ාතම කිරීමටත්ව, 3. වවද්‍ය නිර්දේශ මත සැ ැල්ු රාජකාරිවල දයාද්‍වා ඇති අනතුරට ෙත්වූ දින සිට දම් ද්‍ක්වා ක ිසිඳු උසස්ීමක් ලැබී දනාමැති නිලධාරීන් ා නිලධාරිනියන්ට විදශ්ෂ වැටුප් වර්ධක දද්‍කක් ලබාදීමටත්ව ඉ ත (1,2,3) කරුණුවලට අද්‍ාලව උසස්ීම් ා වැටුප් වර්ධක ලබාදීදම්දී එම නිලධාරීන් ා න ිලධාරිනියන්ට වැටුප්/විශ්‍රාම වැටුප් දගීමට ෙ ත ෙරිදි වාර්ිකව (ද්‍ළ ඇස්තදම්න්තුව) ර ුපියල් මිලියන 348 ක් වැය දේ.

The petitioners’ position is that they fall into to the 2nd group of police officers as detailed in the petition. The document marked P5(b), which is the relevant Cabinet Decision in relation to the above-mentioned Cabinet Memorandum, shows that the Cabinet of Ministers have decided on 23-05-2017 to approve the said Cabinet Memorandum, and the Secretary to the Cabinet has written to the relevant authorities who are vested with the responsibility of implementing the said Cabinet Decision, requiring them to implement the same. The relevant part of the said directive reads as follows; (i) එවකට ම ජන සාමය ස ක්‍රිස්තියානි ආගමික කටයුතු ඇමති තුමා ඉදිරිෙත්ව කල 2015-0326 දිනැති සංදේශදේ සඳ න් නිර්දේශ (1), (2), (3), (4), ස (5) සඳ ා අනුමැතිය ලබා දීම; ස (ii) ජාතික දොලිස් දකාම්ෂන් සභාව විමසමින් ඉ ත (i) හි සඳ න් තීරණය ක්‍රියාත්වමක කිරීම ප ිණිස අවශය පියවර ගන්න දලස නීතිය ා සාමය ස ද්‍ක්ිණ සංවර්ධන අමාතයංශදේ දල්කම් ට උෙදද්‍ස් දීම. The petitioners have marked and produced as P6, P6(a), P7, P8, P9, several communications that took place between the respondents named in the petition in relation to the implementation of the said Cabinet Decision. According to the averments of paragraph 15 of the petition, the petitioners have come to know that, at least one senior police officer who belong to the same category of officers as the petitioners, and who was also entitled to relief, had been granted relief in accordance with the Cabinet Decision, and the promotion he earned subsequent to his injuries had been backdated to the date of his Page 12 of 27 injury, namely to 27-05-2000. A copy of the letter written by the Secretary of National Police Commission to the Secretary of the Public Administration, Management, and Law and Order Ministry in that regard has been submitted marked as P10(b) to establish that fact. The petitioners have also written several letters and have made several representations to the relevant authorities requesting them to grant the reliefs approved by the Cabinet. It has been submitted further that, by Common Order No. 42/2019 dated 2201-2019, 340 police officers have also been granted relief in accordance with the said Cabinet Decision (document marked P18). By RTM 561 dated 18-03-2019, further 106 police officers have been granted relief (document marked P19), and by RTM 562 dated 18-03-2019, 438 police officers have been granted relief (document marked P20). Despite reliefs being granted to number of other police officers who fall within the other categories of officers referred in the Cabinet Decision, as well as to at least one senior police officer who was eligible under the same category of police officers as the petitioners, it has been their contention that they have not been granted their entitlement as to the said Cabinet Decision thus far, which amounts to a violation of their fundamental rights enshrined in the Constitution. When this matter was considered for granting of leave, the 1st respondent originally mentioned in the petition, namely, the then Inspector General of Police, filing limited objections to the granting of leave, has not disputed the fact that the petitioners were police officers who received injuries during the separatist conflict while being engaged in their official duties, and were serving police officers at the time of filing this application. The fact that they have earned and received promotions as mentioned in their petition had also not been disputed. The 1st respondent has not disputed the Cabinet Memorandum marked P5(a), and the Cabinet Decision in that regard marked P5(b). However, he had taken Page 13 of 27 up the position that the police officers qualified under the said Cabinet Decision have already been granted benefits thereon. Apart from the other documents marked along with these objections, the 1st respondent has marked another Cabinet Decision apparently taken on 26-012021, which was after the institution of this action, and has stated that steps have been taken to grant relief as per the said new Cabinet Decision, and if the petitioners are qualified under the same, they will receive their benefits as claimed. On the basis that the petitioners’ application is misconceived in law, vexatious and futile, and the petitioners have failed to establish that their fundamental rights have been violated, it has been prayed that the application should stand dismissed. It has also been claimed that the petitioners’ application is of out of time, and that the petitioners have failed to name the relevant parties as respondents of the application. At the hearing of this application, the learned President’s Counsel, for the petitioners was of the view that the legal objections taken up by the learned DSG as to the maintainability of the application before the Court cannot be sustained. He pointed out that the petitioners have come before the Court not to challenge the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers, but to challenge the continuing failure by the relevant authorities to grant relief as per the said Cabinet Decision, which amounts to clear discrimination, denying them the right to equality and equal protection of the law. Hence, it was his position that making the Cabinet of Ministers a party to this application would not arise. It was submitted that the petitioners have come before the Court well within the time limit permitted by law on the basis of continuing violation of their fundamental rights. Submitting as to the facts, it was the position of the learned President’s Counsel, that the petitioners have clearly demonstrated before the Court that they are entitled to receive benefits in terms of the 2nd recommendation in the relevant Cabinet Decision, and at least one senior officer of the police department who Page 14 of 27 fell within the same category has been given relief, which amounts to treating the petitioners differently. He also pointed out that the other officers who became entitled to relief under the other categories mentioned in the said Cabinet Paper have also been granted relief as admitted by the respondents, and leaving the petitioners out from granting relief amounts to a clear discrimination. The learned DSG who represented the Hon. Attorney General and the other respondents, submitted two legal arguments on the basis that the petitioners have no locus standi to maintain this application. It was submitted that the petition has been filed beyond the one-month period of the alleged infringement, and the Cabinet of Ministers should have been made parties to the action as it was the decision of the Cabinet that had been challenged. Making submissions as to the facts, it was her stand that the recommendation 1 and 2 of the contentious Cabinet Decision could only be applicable to those officers who retired prior to 18-05-2014 and not to the petitioners who were serving police officers. It was contended that the petitioners, if at all, stand entitle to receive benefits only in terms of the 3rd category of officers mentioned in the Cabinet Decision, which makes them entitled to two special salary increments only. It was stated that all the petitioners have already been granted two salary increments pursuant to P5(a) and P5(b), and therefore, they are attempting to misinterpret the said Cabinet Decision though they have already received their entitlement. Having scrutinized the petition before the Court, the relevant supporting documents filed, the objections raised as to the maintainability of this application, and the oral and written submissions, I will now proceed to consider whether petitioners are entitled to the reliefs as sought, or whether the fundamental rights application should stand dismissed as contented on behalf of the respondents. Page 15 of 27 I find that what the learned DSG had submitted in her written submissions, that the contention of the petitioners in relation to this petition had been that they also qualify to receive a further promotion, and to have it backdated as stipulated under the 2nd recommendation of the Cabinet Decision, was not correct, whereas, their contention had been to the effect that they are entitled to have the promotions they have already earned after sustaining respective injuries and while being in service backdated to the date of the injury they sustained while being engaged in their official duty. Having observed as such, I will now consider the legal objections raised to the effect that the relevant parties have not been named in the petition and that the application was out of time, before moving on to the facts of the matter, if necessary. It is abundantly clear that the petitioners have come before the Court not to challenge the Cabinet Memorandum dated 26-03-2015 or the Cabinet Decision taken in that regard on 23-05-2017. They have come before this Court on the basis that the subsequent actions of the respondents, where they have been deprived of their entitlements, amounts to violation of their fundamental rights. Therefore, it is my view that it was not necessary for the petitioners to name the Cabinet of Ministers as a party to this action. A person who alleges that his fundamental rights or language rights have been infringed or is about to be infringed by executive or administrative action needs to come before the Supreme Court within one month thereof in terms of Article 126(2) of the Constitution. As I have considered earlier, the petitioners have not come before the Court in order to challenge the Cabinet Decision taken on 23-05-2017. It is very much clear that with the directive by the Secretary to the Cabinet, to the relevant authorities to implement the Cabinet Decision, in fact, the relevant authorities which include the respondents mentioned have taken steps to implement the same, and had partly implemented the said decision in a phased-out manner. Page 16 of 27 This goes on to establish that the petitioners had clear legitimate expectations that they will also be granted relief in the similar manner. It was only after it became clear to the petitioners that they will not be granted the reliefs as approved by the Cabinet, but they will be considered on a different basis to that of the Cabinet Decision, they have come before the Court seeking relief. Hence, I am of the view that there exists no basis to consider that their application to Court was time barred in terms of the Article 126(2) of the Constitution. It is my considered view that the alleged infringement amounts to continuing violation of fundamental rights under that context. In the case of SC(FR) Application No. 542/2009 decided on 20-01-2021: Per Priyantha Jayawardena, PC, J., “Article 126(2) of the Constitution states that an application for infringement or imminent infringement of Fundamental Rights can be filed “within one month thereof” in the Supreme Court. The word “within” used in the said Article requires the period of one month to be calculated from the date of the alleged infringement, imminent infringement, or from the date on which the petitioner became aware of the alleged infringement, if knowledge on the part of the petitioner is required to establish the alleged infringement.” This question was also discussed in the case of Gamaethige Vs. Siriwardena (1988] 1 Sri L.R. 385. Per Fernando, J., “Three principles are discernible in regard to the operation of the time limit prescribed by Article 126(2). Time begins to run when the infringement takes place; if knowledge on the part of the petitioner is required (e.g of other instances by comparison with which the treatment meted out to him becomes discriminatory), time begins to run only when both infringement and knowledge exist.” Page 17 of 27 For the reasons as considered above, I am of the view that the two legal objections taken up by the learned DSG as to the maintainability of this application lacks merit. Moving on to the facts, since the Leave to Proceed was granted only on the alleged violation of the fundamental rights guaranteed in terms of Article 12(1) of the Constitution, I will limit my consideration to ascertain whether equality and the equal protection entitled to all persons before the law have been infringed. In Wijerathna Vs. Sri Lanka Ports Authority, SC/FR/256/17 SCM 11.12.2020, Kodagoda, J. held: “The concept of ‘equality’ was originally aimed at preventing discrimination based on or due to such immutable and acquired characteristics, which do not on their own make human being unequal. It is now well accepted that, the ‘right to equality’ covers a much wider area, aimed at preventing other ‘injustices’ too, that are recognized by law. Equality is now a right as opposed to a mere privileged or entitlement, and in the context of Sri Lanka a ‘Fundamental Right’, conferred on the people by the Constitution, for the purpose of curing not only injustices taking the manifestation of discrimination, but a host of maladies recognized by law. While all Fundamental Rights are of equal importance and value, the ‘right to equality’. The ability of human beings to live in contemporary societies (as opposed to merely existing), and develop and reap the fruits of social, scientific, economic and political developments, is based on their ability to exercise fully the ‘right to equality’. Similarly, for human civilizations may they be national or international to reap the full benefits of knowledge, skills, experience, talents and wisdom that people possess, people of such societies must enjoy the ‘right to equality’”. Page 18 of 27 In the case of M. Ashroff Rumy and Another Vs. Hon. Thalatha Athukorale, Minister of Justice & Prison Reforms, Ministry of Justice, SC/FR/ 230/2018, Jayantha Jayasuriya, P.C., C.J. held: “All persons should be treated equally. Therefore, setting out different criteria based on the area of service per se could lead to unequal treatment unless such differentia is based on justifiable objective criteria on valid reasons and one such criteria could be the competency in a particular language depending on the area of service. The Supreme Court in fact had accepted that classifications are allowed if they are not arbitrary and founded upon intelligible differentia. Ananda Dharmadasa and Others v Ariyaratne Hewage and Others ([2008] 2 SLR 19, Tuan Ishan Raban and Others v Members of the Police Commission ([2007] 2 SLR 351. The objective of this requirement is to treat equals equally and not unequally”. When it comes to the facts that led to this application, the respondents have not disputed at any time, the existence of the Cabinet Memorandum marked P5(a) and the subsequent Cabinet Decision dated 23-05-2017 marked P5(b). When reading the Cabinet Memorandum and the Cabinet Decision, it is clear that the Cabinet of Ministers have approved the Memorandum submitted by the Minister, to consider the police officers who come within the purview of the said recommendations under three categories. The letter issued by the Secretary to the Cabinet informing the relevant officials to implement the decision, which I have reproduced earlier, amply demonstrates that fact. I find that the said Cabinet Decision had never been rescinded by the Cabinet of Ministers at any time and very much in force. I find that all other Cabinet Decisions taken subsequently on the same subject have also been made based on the said original Cabinet Decision. Page 19 of 27 Under the circumstances, I find it necessary to consider whether the petitioners can be considered as police officers who fall within the 2nd group as determined by the Cabinet of Ministers, which has recommended that the police officers who received injuries due to L.T.T.E terrorist activities until 18-05-2014 and had received promotion of service thereafter, should have their promotions backdated to the date of injury they sustained. The document marked P-1 produced by the petitioners establishes the fact that the petitioners hold different ranks in Sri Lanka police service and were serving police officers at the time they filed this petition before the Court and were attached to different police stations in the country. The documents marked and produced along with the petition marked P2A to P2T sets out their letters of appointment as police officers and the ranks they held before they received their injuries in the line of duty. The documents marked P3A to P3T shows the medical assessments in relation to the petitioners after they sustained their respective injuries. The documents marked P4A to P4T establish the fact that subsequent to their injuries, that they have earned promotions within the service. I find that the 1st respondent being the Inspector General of Police had admitted the above in the limited objections he filed before the Court. The specific averment in the petition that a senior police officer who sustained injuries under similar circumstances earned a promotion thereafter, and had his promotion backdated to his date of injury had not been disputed either. It is my considered view that the Cabinet of Ministers, when deciding to act under the Cabinet Memorandum of the Subject Minister dated 26-03-2015, have not intended to create a distinction between the officers who received a promotion while in service and retired before 18-05-2014, and those who were still in service at that time after receiving a promotion, when recommending the relief under the 2nd head of the Cabinet Memorandum. Page 20 of 27 It appears that the learned DSG had heavily relied on the Cabinet Memorandum dated 05-08-2019 and the subsequent Cabinet Decision dated 10-09-2019 (documents marked 1R4 and 1R5) to argue that the petitioners, since they are serving police officers, are only entitled to receive two salary increments according to the Cabinet Decision, and the said relief has been granted to them, and also that since there is a new Cabinet Decision in this regard, the said decision, namely, 1R5, should be the decision that would be now applicable to the petitioners. It needs to be emphasized that what is considered here would be whether the fundamental rights guaranteed under the Constitution have been infringed due to the continuing non-implementation of the Cabinet decision dated 23-05-2017 and not the cabinet decisions reached thereafter. It is very much clear to me even from the Cabinet Decision relied on by the learned DSG, that the Cabinet has never intended to rescind the previous Cabinet Decision under which the petitioners have sought relief from this Court. In fact, the intention and the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers had been to extend the reliefs granted by the Cabinet of Ministers on 23-05-2017 to a further group of police officers who have attained the retirement age or gone on retirement from 18-05-2014 up until 31-07-2019. It appears that the subsequent Cabinet Memorandum has been presented in a manner to show that the previous Cabinet Decision relates to two groups of police officers only by including the 2nd group of police officers mentioned in the previous Cabinet Decision under the 1st group, to make it look like the previous Cabinet Decision relates to only two groups of police officers, although it has specifically referred to the previous Cabinet Decision. Page 21 of 27 The relevant part of the said subsequent Cabinet Memorandum reads as follows. 2017.05.23 දිනැති අංක අමෙ/15/0391/606/017 ද්‍රණ අමාතය මණ්ඩල තීරණය අනුව අනුමත කරන ලද්‍ නිර්දේශයන් :- 2015.03.26 දිනැති අංක 10/2015 අමාතය මණ්ඩල සංදේශය අනුව දගන ඇති 2017.05.23 දිනැති අංක අමෙ/15/0391/606/017 අමාතය මණ්ඩල තීරණය මගින් එල්.ටී.ටී.ඊ. ත්‍රස්තවාදී ක්‍රියා ද ්තුදවන් තුවාල ලබා වවද්‍ය ද ්තූන් මත විශ්‍රාම ගන්වා ඇති න ිලධරයන් ස වවද්‍ය නිර්දේශ මත සැ ැල්ු රාජකාරිදේ දයාද්‍වා ඇති නිලධරයන් සඳ ා ෙ ත ෙරිදි කටයුතු කිරීමට සුදුසු බවට අනුමත කර ඇත.

I do not find an acceptable basis for the argument advanced by the learned DSG that the petitioners should fall under the 3rd category of police officers mentioned in the Cabinet Decision dated 26-05-2015. In my view, the 3rd category of police officers are the police officers who have not received any promotion up until the date of the said Cabinet Decision and who have been assigned to perform light duties due to the level of injuries they have sustained, and not the petitioners who had received promotions but still in the active service. I am of the view that the respondents cannot move away from their obligations by granting the petitioners only two salary increments, as that was not the Page 23 of 27 intention of the Cabinet of Ministers when they reached the relevant Cabinet Decision on 23-05-2017. I find that the relevant Cabinet Decision applicable to the petitioners has been reached clearly on the consideration of the police officers under three categories, namely; (a) who were retired by that time without having earned a promotion; (b) the police officers who have earned a promotion after their injury irrespective of the fact whether they are still serving police officers or not; (c) and those police officers who were still serving at the time of the original Cabinet Decision but performing light duties, and have not earned any promotion since their date of the injury; It needs to be noted further, in the correspondence the respondents have had within the Police Department and with other relevant authorities, copies of which had been marked along with the petition, it had never been suggested that the relevant Cabinet Decision has grouped the relevant police officers under two categories as argued during the hearing of this matter on behalf of the respondents, but under three categories as in the said Cabinet Decision. It seems to me that arguing this matter based on a Cabinet Decision taken on 10-09-2019 would not have arisen if the relevant authorities had acted promptly by giving effect to the Cabinet Decision reached on 23-05-2017. If that had happened as it should have, the petitioners ought to have been granted the reliefs long before the Cabinet Decision relied on by the learned DSG, which makes considering the issue based on a subsequent decision irrelevant. The fundamental rights jurisdiction has been well evolved in a manner that even if a single person belonging to one category of persons who falls within that category has been treated differently, such a treatment amounts to the violation of the fundamental rights of the other members of the same category of persons. Page 24 of 27 In the case of Perera Vs. Jayawickrema (1985) 1 Sri L.R. 285, Sharvananda, C.J. (with Ranasinghe J., Abdul Carder J., Atukorale J., Tambiah J, and De Alwis J. agreeing) delivered the majority opinion of the Court. The Chief Justice stated that a person claiming to be discriminated against must show that there was at least one other person similarly situated or equally circumstanced; that he had been treated differently from others and that there was no reasonable basis for such differential treatment, ‘Discrimination can exist only where two persons or two subjects are treated in different ways. It arises only from two dissimilar treatments and not from similar treatments.’ As per C.W. Mackie and Co. Ltd Vs. Hugh Molagoda, Commissioner General of Inland Revenue and Others (1986) 1 Sri L.R. 301; “In order to sustain the plea of discrimination based upon Article 12(1) a party will have to satisfy the Court about two things, (1) that he has been treated differently from others, (2) that he has been differently treated from persons similarly circumstanced without any reasonable basis.” In the case of Rienzie Perera and Another Vs. University Grants Commission (1978-79-80) 1 SLR 128; Per Sharvananda, J., “A person relying on a plea of unlawful discrimination must set out with sufficient particulars his plea showing how, between persons similarly circumstanced, discrimination has been made, which discrimination is founded on no intelligible differentia. If the petitioner establishes similarity between persons who are subjected to differential treatment, it is for the State to establish that the differentia is based on a rational object sought to be achieved by it. But where similarity is not shown, the plea as to infringement of Article 12 must fail.” “To make out a case of denial of the equal protection, a plea of differential treatment is by itself not sufficient. The petitioner, pleading that Article 14 Page 25 of 27 has been violated, must make out that not only had he been treated differently from others, but that he has been so treated from persons similarly circumstanced without any reasonable basis and such differential treatment is unjustifiable.”- Probhudas Morarjee Vs. Union of India (1966) S.C. 1044. (The Article 14 considered here is the corresponding Article to Article 12 of our Constitution) As mentioned previously, it is clear that one senior police officer, who belonged to the same category of police officers as the petitioners and was entitled to relief, had been granted the said relief, and his subsequent promotion has been backdated to the date of his injury, thereby treating the petitioners differently, although all of them were similarly circumstanced. For the above reasons as considered, I am of the view that the fundamental rights of the petitioners guaranteed in terms of Article 12(1) had been infringed by treating them differently and in contrary to the relevant Cabinet Decision, which has resulted in their fundamental rights continued to be infringed. Therefore, I hold that the petitioners are entitled for relief for the infringement of their fundamental rights. Accordingly, I direct the 1B respondent or whoever the person holding the post of the Inspector General of Police, The National Police Commission, namely 2B, 3B, 4B, 5B, 6B, 7A, and 8A respondents, and also 13D respondent, the Secretary of Ministry of Public Security, to take immediate meaningful steps to backdate the 1st promotion earned by the petitioners while serving in the Police Department as police officers of various ranks after they received injuries due to the L.T.T.E. terrorist activities, to the date of them sustaining their respective injuries. The respondents shall liaise with other relevant authorities and take necessary steps to grant the said relief within a period of four months from the date of this judgment. Page 26 of 27 Having considered the relevant facts, circumstances and the facts relating to the nature of the infringement of the petitioners’ fundamental rights, I do not think that this is a proper instance where compensation should be ordered. However, I direct the State shall pay a cost of Rs. 100,000/- to the petitioners as the costs of this application. Janak De Silva, J. I agree. K. Priyantha Fernando, J. I agree.
