About us

Upholding Justice and the Rule of Law
with Profound Experience & Integrity.

With the advent of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka which introduced Article 154P, Provincial High Courts were established granting original criminal and writ jurisdiction, later expanded by Act No. 19 of 1990[cite: 6]. Subsequently, the High Court of Provinces (Special Provisions) (Amendment) Act No. 54 of 2006 was enacted to decentralize civil appeals from Colombo to reduce case backlogs in the Court of Appeal and provide local access for litigants[cite: 6]. As a result, the Provincial High Court of Civil Appeal Central Province Holden at Kandy was established on 08.01.2007, enhancing the historical background and value of the court system in the Central Province[cite: 6].
