    BRIGADIER LIYANAGE v. CHANDRANANDA DE SILVA SECRETARY, MINISTRY OF DEFENCE AND OTHERS SUPREME COURT AMERASINGHE, J. WIJETUNGA J. AND BANDARANAYAKE. J. S. C. APPLICATION 5 0 6 /9 9 (F. R.) 2"d NOVEMBER, 1999 Fundamental rights - Failure to promote the petitioner as a Major General - Article 12(1) of the Constitution. The petitioner was suspended from duties until the hearing and determination of the "Embilipitiya disapperances case” and he was not considered for promotion pending the court case. Consequently, he was superceded by two other officers. After trial, he was acquitted. Thereafter, the Commander of the Army made a written recommendation to the Secretary, Ministry of Defence (the Is1 respondent) that the petitioner be, inter alia, promoted to the rank of Major General with'effect from 4lh December. 1997 on a supernumerary vacancy on which date the two officers who had superseded the petitioner were promoted to the rank of Major General and thereafter be absorbed into the permanent cadre with effect from 10lh February. 1999 on which date the High Court judgement was delivered. However, the petitioner was not promoted to the post of Major General on the ground that the promotion was not in the best interest of the Army since the petitioner failed to exercise due control over persons who were convicted by court. The petitioner did occupy a place of authority in the chain of command. But so were others above and below him who were nevertheless pro­ moted. There was also no explanation why a captain Chamarasinghe who had been indicted in the court was promoted with effect from 2"d June 1995 to the rank of temporary major.

  • Australian Field Marshal Rank Facts - Tim Fischer AC I January 2017
    Australian Field Marshal Rank Facts - Tim Fischer AC I January 2017 When a window of opportunity comes along to correct a wrong that goes to the core fabric of the nation, then citizens should step up and seek to ensure action is taken to rectify the wrong. This window exists from now until 11 November 2018, the centenary of Armistice or Remembrance Day. The Jerilderie Proposition relating to Sir John Monash sets out clearly the objective of the Saluting Monash Council for your consideration and is detailed below, it seeks to right a wrong. However firstly, some matters of fact should be laid out with regard to the rank of Australian Field Marshal: 1) The rank of Australian Field Marshal is not suspended or abolished, it exists today and there is one current living holder of the rank, the Consort of the Queen of Australia, Prince Philip is an Australian Field Marshal created by then PM Robert Menzies on 1 April 1954. 2) All four Australian Field Marshals, 1925 Birdwood, 1950 Blamey, 1938 George VI, 1954 Prince Philip were created in peace time, for symbolic reasons, at the time of their appointments none were in command of an AIF or ADF force of the size normally relating to Field Marshal command. 3) Minister Dan Tehan has recently laid out some observations on Field Marshal rank as follows below. The Minister admits the ‘implicit’ requirement to be ‘living’ but it is not an ‘outright’ requirement. He also further emphasizes one step in rank as a desirable aspect. Promoting Sir John Monash posthumously to Field Marshal would represent one step in rank and like Blamey, when he was promoted in 1950, some years had elapsed since he was on active command duty.
