The oath-taking ceremony took place as the judicial institution continues to strengthen its bench with fresh appointments to handle the growing caseload before the appellate court.
The appointment comes as part of regular judicial recruitment processes overseen by the Judicial Service Commission, which evaluates candidates for positions across Sri Lanka's court system.
The Court of Appeal serves as a critical institution in Sri Lanka's three-tier judicial hierarchy, hearing appeals against decisions made in lower courts and dealing with matters of significant legal importance.
The new judge's induction is expected to enhance the court's capacity to process pending cases and reduce backlogs that have affected the timely disposal of appeals across various civil and criminal matters.
