Colombo High Court Judge Namal Balalle has rejected the preliminary objections filed in the accident case against MP Patali Champika Ranawaka.
The application was rejected when the case accusing MP Ranawaka of causing grievous injuries to a motorcyclist in an accident in Rajagiriya in 2016 was taken up for consideration today.
The Colombo High Court later fixed for trial the case on the 17th of June, while it also ordered for the witnesses to be present in courts on the said date.
The Attorney General had filed the case against three accused, including MP Champika Ranawaka for causing grievous injury to a person by rash and negligent driving in Rajagiriya on the 28th of February 2016.
The suspects are also accused of conspiring and fabricating false evidence as well as giving false information to screen an offender. (NewsWire)
