case: expert states his credentials He was being was cross examined by M.L.M. Ameen PC, regarding his experience and competency when the case was taken up before High Court Judge Rohini Perera. In this case former BASL Secretary Bandula Wijesinghe, former Military Spokesman Sumedha Perera and caretaker Sarath Wijewardena are accused of fraudulently claiming property of the late Fredrick Obeysekera. The professor earlier told court the signatur es in the documents in doubt were found to have several differences from that of the signatures of the late Mr. Obeysekera, when he examined them. He said he had 40 years of experience in this field since 1967 and had been trained by highly qualified experts in India. When asked by P.C. Ameen as to how he had 40 years experience from 1967 till 2007 he replied that he mentioned1967 because he could sign documents only from that year but he had been trained 3 years earlier but was not authorised to sign documents. Further continuous cross examination by Mr. Ameen regarding his competency and experience and also how he had 40 years experience prompted the professor to say that he has appeared in several courts and given his expert comments but had never been humiliated like this. He said he was competent and has had enough experience to examine and give his candid opinion on the alleged forged documents. He also said he was trained by his instructor who was referred to as Leonardo Da Vinci because he was so efficient. |
