Why this exists.
Sri Lanka’s law is public, but it is not accessible. The Constitution is a 280-page PDF in nineteenth-century drafting; judgments sit behind subscriptions; Hansards are scattered. Lanka Records is building one place to read the primary sources, free, with a plain-language layer over the official text. It starts with the Constitution.
An independent project. Lanka Records is not a government body. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting for the Parliament of Sri Lanka, the Government, any court or any political party, and nothing on it is legal advice.
An explanation, not the law
Every document, page, image and font the site relies on, with its citation, its publisher and a link to where it is held. Where a detail has not been checked, the entry says so. The summaries on this site are explanations, not the law: only the official text has legal force, and where the Sinhala, Tamil and English texts differ, the Sinhala text prevails. Listing a source here does not mean its publisher endorses or is connected with this site.
Every source, by kind
