Biography
**P. Saliya Sumanatilake** holds a (‘S.L.Q.F. Level 10’) Master of Laws in Criminal Justice Administration (LL.M.) from the Open University of Sri Lanka; a Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.) from the Open University of Sri Lanka; and a Diploma in Forensic Medicine and Forensic Science (Dip.F.M.F.Sc.) from the University of Colombo.
Though having served the Attorney General’s Department of Sri Lanka as a state prosecutor, earning thereby the reputation of ‘a tenaciously just prosecutor,’ he became skeptical regarding the professed transparency of the criminal justice system and hence not only resigned his commission with the state but also resolved never to serve as a court practitioner again.
Resolute adherence to the precepts of righteousness has kept him away from many an otherwise lucrative livelihood. He is thus confined to a very modest form of existence.
‘He is honest, hardworking and has the ability to grapple with complex issues of Law’ (retired Attorney-General of Sri Lanka, the late K.C. Kamalasabayson P.C.).
