Law, Common Law and Above Law

This piece is in Evolution and applied ONLY to Ceylon.

Reader may amend, alter and improve the content ingrained.

Now that I have dispensed the Law of Dhamma, it is time for me to dispense how Law operates in Ceylon.

There is no Order in Ceylon.

To begin with, Ceylon operates on fundamentals of Physics, namely Disorder. 

The technical and Scientific term is Chaos.

An Excellent Example of Chaos is our Northern MP  named Archuna (Ar Chu Na).

I believe in Law that is equal to every citizen of this country. 

It should not be inviolable. 

Ar Chu Na is the only exception.

I am not a lawyer, so I have no dealing with Law of the country, except abiding by it.

As a doctor, I have been in contact with Common Law, all my life.

I never ask the question, Are you sure of your father?

That question violates the Common Law.

In Common Law Sex is not supposed to be consensual (that is a legal term). 

This does not mean that the women are a common property.

What  it means the ability to violate Common Law and claim that one can take  advantage of every opportunity when it suits the individual (sex of the individual is immaterial) in dealing with the opposite sex.

Homosexuality is an aberration on this context.

Now do not get into trouble by literally interpreting above representation of mine.

Doctors are not supposed to ask this question (who is your father) since, it opens the door to Law and Lawyers.

I will take some common examples like our Divorce Law and Law of the Road or more precisely the Law of the Three Wheeler Drivers, to illustrate our Common Law predicaments.

Although what is stated here is not applied to the Parliamentary Guys and Girls, recent development of Spouse and Car exchanges are not the classic examples.

They are of Special Order, even above the Above Law, I am going to discuss later, here.

Common Law is what people practice in day to day practice.

We take the Precept Not to Lie as a daily dose of prescription but every day we start our life with a big lie.

A brilliant lie to start the day.

Example One.

One comes to the office late.

The common law excuse is that guy or girl missed the bus or the bus broke down at the Thun Mulla Handiya and there was a big Traffic Jam.

There is nothing one can do about this scenario.

Example Two

You are late to office and take the earliest available Three Wheeler to the office.

Dispense Rs.500/= for a Rs.200/= fare and gets the balance of Rs.200/=.

You demand the correct balance.

The answer is, the extra Rs.100/= is for income tax, Sir.

That is the common law on the road.

One should have all Rs.100/= notes when travelling by Three Wheelers. 

Problem is these Three Wheeler Drivers collect Rs.100/= notes  and dispense them sparingly. 

Currently, Rs.50/= has no street value.

It is the common law.

Example Three

One the way home one goes to the pub for a drink. 

You meet a guy to whom you owe money.

He demands a free drink.

You have to spend the money left for daily provisions for this guy.

One is left with money only for another half a  peg. 

He takes a half a peg for the door.

One is empty pocket, now.

Comes home pretending to be dead drunk.

It is common law.

Example Four

The last is similar to recent Saga.

One is married with kids but his common law wife is even younger to his youngerst daughter.

It is common law of this country.

Above Law

Above Law applies to the parliamentarians and they can violate any law of the country. 

Nobody including the police can proceed and file a case for full conviction.

There are over 90,000 police officers in this country and none can proceed a case against a sitting MP.

That is Common Law applied as Above Law.

Nobody dare to file a case against a MP past or present. 

Even if a case is filed, the police invariably distort it's presentation so, Justice may not (seemed not to be) be carried out according to the Law of the Country.

Nothing can be done about this pessimistic view.

Sorry.
