Tambimuttu was born around 1890.[1] His ancestors were originally from Nallur but later settled in Batticaloa in eastern eastern Ceylon.[1]
Tambimuttu had a daughter - Laurel.[1]
Tambimuttu was an advocate.[1] He contested the 1921 legislative council election as a candidate for the Eastern Province seat and was elected to the Legislative Council of Ceylon unopposed.[1] [2] Tambimuttu contested the 1924 legislative council election as a candidate for the Batticaloa seat and was re-elected to the Legislative Council.[1] [2] [3] [4]
Tambimuttu did not contest the 1931 state council election due to the boycott organised by the Jaffna Youth Congress.[5] He contested the 1936 state council election as a candidate for the Trincomalee-Batticaloa seat and was elected to the State Council of Ceylon.[1] [6] In June 1943 he was found guilty by the Bribery Commission of accepting bribes but as he refused to resign he was expelled from the State Council.[6]
