7. Amendment of section 16 of the principal enactment

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

Section 16 of the principal enactment is hereby amended by the substitution for the words “after trial without a jury before a judge of the High Court,” and “to a fine not exceeding seven hundred and fifty thousand rupees” of the words “after trial by a Magistrate,” and “to a fine not less than seven hundred and fifty thousand rupees and not exceeding seventy five million rupees.” respectively.
