As our Attorney, there were times when I was dissatisfied with Manivannan\u2019s service. But as a person he was always respectful of my wisdom in the issue and this brought us victory as a team against the opposition team of Colombo\u00a0 lawyers led by the mighty Shanki Parathalingam PC \u2013 in successfully obtaining Leave to Appeal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">I \u2013 a lay litigant &#8211;\u00a0 prepared the Leave to Appeal application within the 14 day time period \u2013 part of which was from our lawyer daughter\u2019s home in Melbourne. I mention my lawyer daughter because I believe I contributed to her becoming a lawyer. Since I have not taken credit for it \u2013 it is shared ownership in her profession.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">The decision to self-represent happened due to our loss of confidence in the lawyer who represented us at the District Court and one other who specialised in Thesawalamai law but asked for a very high fee. Both claimed that the decision was interlocutory. We met the deadline and the judge who was from Colombo directed us to have the Application redrafted according to Jaffna format. In that process we were recommended Mr Visvalingam Manivannan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">My application included the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ol style=\"text-align: justify;\" start=\"3\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><u>The Questions Involved :\u00a0<\/u>.

I felt that it would be easier for us to mind-merge through common substance. By this time, we had engaged Mr S. A. Parathalingam PC to represent us in the Colombo Land matter as our senior counsel Mr Nehru Goonetilleke PC, had passed away. I did not particularly register that Mr S. A. Parathalingam PC had represented the lawyers in the above matter \u2013 at the Apex Court. When I first saw Mr S. A. Parathalingam and his son representing our oppositionin Jaffna High Court \u2013 the first step taken by me was to disconnect Mr S. A. Parathalingam from the Colombo case. When I mentioned this to Mr Manivannan he\u00a0 strongly recommended that I should not be self-represented but go through a qualified lawyer. I ended up doing a mix of both. The Colombo Land matter was in our favour and I felt that my sacrifice in the Jaffna matter was transferred to Colombo \u2013 including by Mr S. A. Parathalingam \u2013 a mature lawyer for a family of legal experts.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">When we were granted leave to Appeal at the Jaffna High Court level, I felt really good about myself. I in fact felt that the minds of the common Sri Lankan lawyer was with me. To me, it was a question of my relationship with the true lawyer in each and every member of the two teams. Once we go to tertiary level \u2013 we lose consciousness of the particular and therefore \u2018us and them\u2019 separations. That is when the minds connect naturally to each other.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">Recently, when I heard in the news that Mr Visvalingam Manivannan had won the position of Mayor of Jaffna, I felt happy due to this commonness.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">This morning, when I therefore read the headlines \u2018EPDP beats TNA in mayoral battle in Jaffna\u2019\u00a0 in the Island,\u00a0 my heart sank. As per this report:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">[<em>The TNA lost its mayoral post in the Jaffna Municipal Council to EPDP following a vote taken at the JMC chamber yesterday.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><em>In the close contested election, TNA\u2019s Arnold Emmanuel received 20 votes and EPDP\u2019s Wishvalingam Manivannan 21.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><em>The vote was held after the budget proposals for the year 2021 had been defeated on two occasions.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><em>Arrangements had been made to hold an election on Dec 30 for the post of Chairman of the Nallur Pradeshiya Sabha, where too the budget proposals for 2021 has been defeated\u00a0twice.\u00a0<\/em>]<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">I feel that in their haste to report TNA\u2019s demotion, the Island has gone overboard and allocated to EPDP \u2013 the credit that was owed to TNPF led by Mr Ponnambalam\u2019s All Ceylon Tamil Congress. The Daily News report assures me that Mr Visvalingam Manivannan continues to be part of TNPF.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">All Ceylon Tamil Congress is a group founded by Mr GG Ponnambalam who shares with us a rich heritage in law as well as politics \u2013 especially \u2018ethnic politics\u2019. We may or may not see eye to eye with the current position holders in an institution. But the deeper our investment, the closer we get to Common Belief.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">There is a quiet communication between the minds that often is not recognized by even the intellect, leave alone the physical. When the need is deep \u2013 and we believe, we \u2018find\u2019 the service . Recently, when I was referred to Dr Michael Solomon at Prince of Wales hospital, I felt that kind of experience. My review was as follows:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\"><em>[I felt that Dr. Solomon identified with my need as if it were his.

During that period I developed a special system for Private Practitioners within Public Service and many of the doctors were very appreciative of my service. To the extent I provided that service over and above my position requirements \u2013 I automatically became part of the system\u2019s permanent owners. This makes it easier for those providing genuine service to connect to the customers. I believe that it was that investment that connected me to the deeper service of Dr Solomon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400; text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #000000; font-family: 'book antiqua', palatino, serif;\">As highlighted recently, Jaffna produced three Sri Lankan Chief Justices \u2013 and all of them had their founding at Jaffna Hindu College.
