Pinwaththa Wedaralalage Wimalasekera Weragama v. Damme Arachchilage Ubayasena and M U Nisa – C A PHC/111/2006-2017

In the case between Pinwaththa Wedaralalage Wimalasekera Weragama (Appellant) and Damme Arachchilage Ubayasena, with M U Nisa (Respondents), the issue concerned whether the Provincial High Court of Sabaragamuwa was justified in refusing revision of two orders previously issued by the Magistrate of Ratnapura under the Primary Courts Procedure Act. The Court of Appeal held that no valid or sufficient grounds had been advanced to warrant interference with the Magistrate’s orders, reaffirming the principle that appellate review requires clear and substantive grounds for revision of lower court orders. Reliance was placed on established appellate procedural requirements, emphasizing that speculative or unsupported revision claims cannot succeed. The appeal was dismissed with a costs order again
