About Lesson
List of cases discussed in Lecture 1 (24.7.2022)
- Fundamental Right Violation actions are against State, But our court made state officials (Private Parties) also liable in its decisions:
- SAMAN v. LEELADASA AND ANOTHER
- RASSOOOL AND OTHERS v. CARDER DIRECTOR FOR MOSQUES AND MUSLIM CHARITABLE TU
- VELMURUGU v. THE ATTORNEY GENERAL AND ANOTHER
- Mariadas Raj v AG
On this basis, it is now considered that, when fundamental rights are violated by private parties, it is possible claim damages using delictual remedies.
- Delictual remedies can be sought for mental pain and suffering too:
- South African Case
- Sri Lankan Case
- Mr. Amjath (Batch representative) to read and explain below case : PRIYANI E. SOYSA v. RIENZIE ARSECULARATNE
