20. Amendment of section 23V of the principal enactment

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

Section 23V of the principal enactment is hereby amended in subsection (2) of that section, by the substitution for the words “on conviction to a fine not less than rupees ten thousand and not exceeding rupees one hundred thousand”

of the words “on conviction before the Magistrate having jurisdiction liable to a fine not less than 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”.
