Judges of the Court of Appeal Sobhitha Rajakaruna and Dhammika Ganepola heard the petition today (09).

Speaking on behalf of the Attorney General, Additional Solicitor General Vikum de Abrew said that the petition could not proceed as the Fort Magistrate’s Court had issued a warrant for the arrest of the Minister.
