18. Amendment of section 23r of the principal enactment

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

Section 23R of the principal enactment is hereby amended in subsection (2) thereof, by the substitution for the words “shall on conviction be liable to a fine not less than rupees ten thousand and not exceeding rupees one hundred thousand and in the case of a continuing offence to a fine of rupees five hundred for every day in which the offence continue after conviction.” of the words “shall on conviction before the Magistrate having jurisdiction be liable to a fine not less than one hundred thousand rupees and not more than one million rupees and thereafter in the event of the commission of the offence being continued, to a fine of five thousand rupees for each day on which the offence is so continued after conviction.”.
