CJ Mohan Peiris Guilty of Perjury?

Chief Justice Mohan Peiris  does not need to be impeached and only need to be removed since his appointment to the office of the Chief Justice is clearly unconstitutional, says attorney Nagananda Kodituwakku.  Attorney Kodituwakku expressed this opinion when he was interviewed by Boston Lanka news about the writ application he has filed against President Mahinda Rajapaksa's nomination for a third term.  

As Attorney Koddithuwakku points out when  former attorney general and legal advisor to the president, Mohan Peiris  took oath as the 44th Chief Justice of Sri Lanka on January 15th 2013  ‘to be faithful to the Constitution and Law' Peiris knew clearly that  there was no vacancy in the office.  By then the Parliamentary  Select Committee decision had been quashed by the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court had ruled that the entire impeachment process was unlawful and the removal of the Chief Justice was unlawful.

In this background,  according to attorney Koddithuwakku , his taking a Oath as a Chief Justice clearly tantamount to violation of law, which reduced oath taken to be a FALSE OATH and a punishable offence of perjury under the law.
Therefore, attorney  Kodithuwakku is in the opinion that any court decisions handed down by Mohan Peiris, , has no legal validity as he is not the Chief Justice duly appointed but just a person who  is occupying the office of the Chief Justice by force.
