The Colombo High Court today (16) ordered the adjournment of the case filed against former Member of Parliament Hirunika Premachandra for abducting a young man by a Defender and torturing them, until January 30, 2023.
When this case was called before Colombo High Court Judge Amal Ranaraja today, the lawyer who appeared for Hirunika Premachandra stated before the court that the prosecution is ready to present two video evidences related to this case and that they need time to study the content of those evidences.
Accordingly, the lawyer asked the court to adjourn the trial.
Opposing the request, the Deputy Solicitor General who appeared for the prosecution said that this case has already been delayed for about 6 years.
However, allowing the defense’s request, the judge adjourned the case until January 30 and said that the case will be adjourned for the last time and that the case will definitely be heard on January 30.
