Attorney General v. Ruberoe and Others – sllr 1998 volume 1 page 323

In the case between the Attorney-General (Plaintiff) and Ruberoe and others, including Channa Priya Ruberoe (Defendants), the court addressed the validity of extradition arrangements and the ministerial order issued under the Extradition Law, No. 8 of 1977, as well as the authenticity of the certificate of conviction forming the basis for extradition. The sequence of events involved the conviction of Channa Priya Ruberoe in California for a lewd act upon a child, subsequent absconding to Sri Lanka, and the initiation of extradition proceedings upon the U.S.A.’s request. The court determined that the extradition arrangement, drawn from historic treaties and confirmed through ministerial order, remained valid despite an omission to recite or embody the arrangement’s terms in the order.
