Tambimuttu had a daughter - Laurel.

Tambimuttu was an advocate. 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. Tambimuttu contested the 1924 legislative council election as a candidate for the Batticaloa seat and was re-elected to the Legislative Council.

Tambimuttu did not contest the 1931 state council election due to the boycott organised by the Jaffna Youth Congress. He contested the 1936 state council election as a candidate for the Trincomalee-Batticaloa seat and was elected to the State Council of Ceylon. He was later expelled from the State Council.
