Any person can criticise a judgment or an order of the court. Many foreign judgments were criticised by media and individuals. But in Sri Lanka law is different. Court of Appeal found 'show' wickremasinghe of CID not guilty of contempt when he tore the bail order granting bail to former High Court judge Mhanama Thilakarathna and arrested him despite court granting bail for a warrant on a charge of possession of a weapon.Media can state a judgment is wrong and it is not contempt. This is transparency . This is how infamous Magistarte of Maho came to light when bail was ordered due to sexual gratification from wife of the accused. (later this was made to a film and its screening was stopped by the court upon an application from the sacked former Magistrate of Maho) In UK there is no contempt of court regarding criticism of judgment or judge but only available against disobedience of court order.</blockquote>
