Supreme Court hearing postponed to 3rd Aug 2006

We are receiving unconfirmed reports that the CBNSat Supreme Court hearing is postponed to 3rd August 2006. If anyone out there is able to confirm this, we would welcome them to do so. In addition the reasons for postponement are not clear either. It is rumoured that the TRC has submitted only one document. We would like those who have confirmed information to post the reasons for the postponement here on this blog as the day progresses.

On the 3rd the Supreme Court hearing as well as the Appeals Court hearing will be held. It is clear that the authorities are clearly bent on running CBNSat bankrupt. The law is under the mercy of the politicians and those they support. Are these the values that Sri Lanka stands for and upholds.

H.E. President Mahinda Rajapakse announces that problems in this country can be solved by discussion but the CBNSat Subscriber Unite Group is unable to meet with the Minister of Mass Media because they are not being given appointments. Are the elected officials unable to meet with the people, whom they are supposed to serve. What should be understood is that this group is representing the subscribers (where is consumer protection in Sri Lanka) and not CBNSat.

The law should uphold the rights of the citizens of this country and not the people who pulls strings and destroy the nation while filling their own pockets. Remember foreign investors are looking at what is happening in this country and may not invest if BOI projects are being vitimized like this. Why is the BOI not making any statement on this issue?

We would urge all CBNSat customers to get the message across to all people who have CBNSat connections and urge them to sign this on line petition. If the subscriber you know does not have access to the Internet you can get their consent and enter their details to the petition. We would like to urge CBNSat Customers who are living in outstations areas to get in touch with those who have CBNSat connections in their vicinity and spread the word and if they do not have access to the Internet please get their consent and enter their details to the petition.

We would also like to call on the Minister of Mass Media to give appointments to the CBNSat Subscriber Unite Group and discuss the grievances faced by the subscribers due to the shutdown of CBNSat. All CBNSat Subscribers should give their full backing to the CBNSat Subscriber Unite Group. You can contact them on cbnsat@gmail.com

THE SILENCE IS OVER !!!!
LET'S MAKE YOURSELVES HEARD !!!!

Well said prmo,
We'll expose the real story behing this whole scenario. I think even CBNsat is quiet about this. They never spoke about the underhand motive for all this.

But LBN have well said the true story (Daily Mirror 01/08)

Who is this lawyer (Joker) representing TRC ??? We have to pulicise his name too. These are the idiots that the government has appointed to serve us !

Don't he know what to submit to the courts ? Now it is very clear that these corrupt officials have a hidden agenda. Now that they know all their efforts have become worthless in the courts and what they could do is delay the process from their side.

We should not be surprised if this joker come on 3rd and submit another document and say he'll handover the next document on another date. These people are absolute crooks.

How can country go forward like this ? I really do not know how these government officials with such attitudes towards solving a small issue like like and the time taking for it go and solve a big issue like terrorism in this country.

I would say "With this bunch of crooks they will never ever !"

I've been wondering what the hell is BOI doing all this time ??? What we know is that BOI is there to protect the inverstor ! Where are they in this case ?

So shall we continue to see this drama ??? (With there's nothing worth to see on TV these Days)
I hope not !

Aug 3rd the officials have to tell a date to court when they can issue licences to CBNSat.

Will they come and make a lame excuse ???

Will they come and say they want 6 months ????

Will they come out with a whole different issue ???????

I think if they do a such thing CBN Lawyers should not leave any room for it and somehow get the temporary licence from them.

This weekend marks two months since the shutting down of CBNSat.

As subscribers all this time we kept quiet but now the authorities have started feeling the heat coming from the customers side too.

Come on guys get more people to sign the petition. The judge there today seems to be looking at the issue from our point of view !

We could handover the petition to the courts by 3rd if it gains more weight !!!

Dude, as I mentioned in my previous post, can we organize a desk somewhere and request customers to come there and sign.

Guys if possible please read Divaina newspaper. Media minister is saying that CBN helps LTTE to broadcast their channels. Further he stated that CBN broadcasts programmes which is not suitable for this country. I think that media minister is dancing to the government henchaiyas tune.
