The Fundamental Rights (FR) petition challenging the appointment of High Court Judge Ranga Dissanayake as the Director General of the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) has been withdrawn before the Supreme Court today (23).
The petition was filed by a group including the Chief Incumbent of the Udawalawe Soma Viharaya, Ven. Wewelduwa Gnanaprabha Thero.
The case was taken up before a three-judge bench comprising Chief Justice Preethi Padman Surasena, Justice Mahinda Samayawardhena, and Justice Sampath Abeykoon.
During the hearing, the petitioner’s attorney sought permission to withdraw the application. The court accordingly granted permission and dismissed the petition.
