17. Amendment of section 24 of the principal enactment

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

Section 24 of the principal enactment is hereby amended, by the substitution for the words “be triable by the

High Court sitting in any Judicial Zone of Sri Lanka.”, of the words “be triable by a Magistrate having jurisdiction over the area or locality where the nearest or the most convenient port is situated.”.
