Guys we are closing towards the hearing that justice is going to done in our favoure. If the verdict is given in favoure of CBN without dragging the case further, it may mainly because of subscribers unity.
There is a nice article in todays Divaina news paper. It's regarding a statement made by Hon. CJ At the occasion of opening the Anuradhapura Courts Complex.
Hon. CJ have said that it's a grave sin to delay judgements in courts for people coming to courts seeking justice. These people come to courts seeking justice to some of their burning issues and delaying the judgements and further harrasing them is a grave sin he said.
Well said Hon. CJ !!!!
Gratitude of all of us goes to Hon. CJ for uplifting the judiciary system in Sri Lanka.
We only have hope and trust in the Supreme Courts now to seek justice to our 20,000 fellow subscribers.
TOMORROW IS THE JUDGEMENT DAY FOR US !!!!
Yes Hon. CJ
we are counting on you...
yeah, as lisura said, Gratitude of all of us goes to Hon. CJ for uplifting the judiciary system in Sri Lanka.
and as Jesika said, we are counting on you Hon. CJ
We haven't seen anything happening for the past 3 weeks from the media ministry. All what they do is just go to courts and ask for 1 month each time.
We can recall they've been asking this 1 month from July first week. Now it's mid August and they again asked for 1 month on the 15th August.
Now I like to ask them why did they ask for 1 month in July then ?
They have lied to the courts too by asking 1 month again and again.
Even on the 3rd August at the Supreme court they have asked 1 month. And after 2 weeks again on the 15th they have asked for 1 month.
I have a doubt that asking 1 month has now become a tradition of the media ministry and for the habit tommorrow also they ask for 1 month. (Janmeta wada Purudda Lokui)
Hope the CBNSat lawyers will not leave any room for them to further delay the case.
Our sincere hope is that Hon. CJ also wont tolerate all this nonsense of the media ministry officials.
SO TOMORROW IS THE D-DAY FOR ALL OF US !!!!
IT'S UPTO YOU HON. CJ TO SHOW ONCE AGAIN THAT THE JUDICIARY SYSTEM IN OUR MOTHERLAND IS UP ABOVE ALL THE CORRUPT OFFICIALS IN THE GOVERNMENT.
WE ARE QUITE SURE THAT THE TOMORROWS JUDGEMENT WILL BE A LANDMARK JUDGEMENT AS THE RECENT ONES RULED OUT BY HON. CJ !!!!!!!!!
Thank you "cbnsatvictim" for updating us !
I think we have done our part to the maximum and the news have got across to the Media Ministry !!!
It's upto CBNSat lawyers now to show their colors and not to let the Media Ministry further delay by trying to lie to courts as they've done all this time by asking 1 month !!!!
Tonight will be a long night to all of us as we are eager to see the court proceedings tomorrow !!!

CBNSat matter before Supreme Court today
At a Supreme Court hearing held on August 3rd 2006, the Chief Justice ordered the relevant authorities to take necessary measures to remove the seals from the equipment for maintaining and servicing purposes as well as the commencement of test transmission. This order was carried out by the CID officials on the 8th of August.
The Chief Justice requested the parties concerned to have a meeting to finalise matters they have with regards to the issue of any licenses and conditions. Even though the Media Ministry, through their lawyers, requested the Court to allow them one month to finalise the licences and any conditions the Chief Justice conveyed that this was too long and the time limit was set at two weeks. The 2 weeks limit express on the 17th of August 2006. The authorities will have time to resolve it before the 23rd of August when the case will be called again.
CBNSat is hopeful that the Media Ministry and TRC will finalise the issue of the license or what ever conditions that they may want to impose without any further delay, taking into consideration the plight of around 100,000 viewers who have been disadvantaged form the prolonged closure and constant delays that CBNSat has been subjected to.
CBNSat has stated in Court that they will have no objection to allow and aid the authorities in the supervision and monitoring of their transmissions in order to allay any feared threat to national security. The Chief Justice commented that should any unsuitable content broadcast with regard to any terrorist propaganda, surely at least one of the many subscribers would have brought it to the notice of the relevant authorities, which has not happened to date.
With regards to this issue, officials of The Telecommunications Regulatory Commission the Sri Lanka Rupavahini Corporation and the CID have visited the CBNSat premise and after a thorough inspection have handed in reports to the Courts Representatives of CBNSat Affirm that these reports clearly state that there is no transmission of any terrorist channels and the decoders sold by CBNSat cannot be used to receive any particular terrorist channels, thereby eliminating the concerns over the threat to national security.
The officials at CBNSat have gone a step further and agreed to comply with any regulations the necessary authorities would want them to adhere to Through this they hope to have a much better understanding with the authorities that would cause less confusion among the authorities in the future.
