Colombo Fort Magistrate Isuru Neththikumara today (29) issued a warrant ordering the arrest and court presentation of Member of Parliament Jagath Manuwarna, who failed to appear in court for two related cases.
These cases pertain to allegations against MP Jagath Manuwarna dating back to the year 2008.
When the cases were called before the court today (29), the accused MP did not appear.
His attorney informed the magistrate that his client was participating in the National Land Distribution Program and was therefore unable to attend court on this date.
Taking into consideration the submissions, the court issued a warrant for the arrest of MP Jagath Manuwarna. (Newswire)
