Applications called for Kathi posts despite demands to abolish the court system

Many Muslim women have recently called for the abolition of the Kathi courts as they are being subjected to severe injustices due to the system.

In the midst of such a situation, the Judicial Service Commission has called for applications for Kathi posts. The relevant gazette notification was also issued on the 1st of this month.

Applications have been called for 25 posts in Ampara, Anuradhapura, Kalutara, Hambantota, Batticaloa, Nuwara Eliya, Kegalle, Matara, Trincomalee, Kandy, Ampara, Polonnaruwa and Batticaloa.
