A comprehensive program to expedite the removal of case property piled up in court complexes across the island commenced recently. This initiative functions under the guidance of Presidential Secretary Dr. Nandika Sanath Kumanayake and Chief Justice Preethi Padman Surasena, aligned with the "Clean Sri Lanka" project.

The Judicial Service Commission leads this effort to resolve long-standing performance obstacles at police stations, court premises, and the Government Analyst’s Department caused by the accumulation of legal evidence. A five-day pilot phase launched at the Matara Court Complex aims to prevent space congestion by clearing these items.

In Matara, vehicles over 30 years old transported from 13 police stations occupied the storage facility in unusable condition. With the assistance of the Sri Lanka Army, the overgrown premises were cleared. Reporters indicate that out of 256 vehicles identified, 159 motorcycles, 4 jeeps, 8 lorries, and one van involve cases that are now concluded. Police prepare to release 126 vehicles on bond.

Furthermore, 75 motorcycles, 8 three-wheelers, and 2 motorcars linked to ongoing legal proceedings were relocated to designated parking areas for their respective police stations. Decayed scrap metal and other confiscated vehicles face immediate sale via public auction.

The project focuses on clearing vehicles, transferring confiscated animals to farms, and disposing of sand, soil, minerals, copper, iron, ammunition, weapons, timber stocks, furniture, and computers. This nationwide plan seeks to scientifically categorise, dispose of, or return long-term case property to rightful owners.
