‘Justice’ has been continuously redefined across human history—from cosmic harmony as explained by Plato in ancient times, to obligation-based ethics of Immanuel Kant in the late-modern era, and finally to the contemporary frameworks of liberal democracy and capitalism. The National People’s Power (NPP) framework—exemplified by its proposed 22nd Amendment—aims to address systemic backlogs and ensure citizens receive speedier, accessible, and fair justice. The tragedy of the Sri Lankan legal fraternity is that it has become utterly obsessed with Niti—protecting an archaic, procedural bureaucracy of delays and physical ledger entries—while remaining completely blind to Nyaya, which is the substantive realization of justice for the ordinary citizen.
