Viraj Dayaratne appointed to lead Criminal Division of AG’s Dept

Date:

July 20, Colombo (LNW): Senior legal figure Viraj Dayaratne has been named as the new head of the Criminal Division within the Attorney General’s Department, a key position in Sri Lanka’s legal system tasked with overseeing the prosecution of criminal cases across the country.

This appointment comes in the wake of Justice Rohantha Abeysooriya’s elevation to the judiciary as President of the Court of Appeal, creating a vacancy at the helm of the department’s criminal arm. Abeysooriya’s promotion reflects a broader reshuffling within the upper echelons of the legal and judicial services.

Dayaratne brings with him a wealth of experience, having previously held the role of Acting Attorney General, during which time he handled several high-profile legal matters and gained recognition for his measured approach and legal acumen.

His return to a leadership role within the department signals a continuity of experience and a commitment to maintaining prosecutorial standards amid evolving legal challenges.
