The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal filed by former Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka seeking an order to quash the indictment filed against him and two others by the Attorney General.
The indictment relates to allegations of concealing evidence connected to a 2016 road accident in Rajagiriya, in which Ranawaka was accused of being involved.
With this ruling, the Supreme Court has directed the Colombo High Court to proceed with the trial against the accused parties based on the indictment already filed.
The judgment was delivered by Supreme Court Justice S. Thurairaja, with concurrence from Chief Justice Jayantha Jayasuriya and Justice Gamini Amarasekara. (Newswire)
