Official English translation. Where it differs from the Sinhala or Tamil text, the Act itself says which text prevails.

Section 11 of the principal enactment is hereby repealed and the following section is substituted therefor: -

11. Subject to the provisions of this Act and any other written law for the time being in force prohibiting disclosure of information, anything contained in section 9 or 10 shall not prevent the disclosure of any information in connection with, or in the course of, proceedings before a court:

Provided however, a person shall not disclose any information to which this section applies in any judicial proceedings unless the judge or the presiding officer is satisfied that the disclosure of the information is necessary in the interests of justice.”.
