The Colombo High Court today (24) postponed to July 30 the hearing of a revision petition filed by former Minister Rajitha Senaratne, seeking anticipatory bail following the Colombo Magistrate’s Court’s decision to reject his initial application.
The High Court judge observed that a certified copy of the Magistrate’s Court order rejecting the anticipatory bail application had not been filed, and therefore an order could not be issued at this stage.
Accordingly, the judge instructed President’s Counsel Maithri Gunaratne, appearing on behalf of Senaratne, to submit the relevant documents. The matter will be taken up again on July 30. (Newswire)
