CID ordered to arrest Duminda Silva!

Date:

The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has been ordered by the Supreme Court to immediately arrest former MP Duminda Silva.

This is following the revocation of the Presidential Pardon granted to the former MP by President Rajapaksa.

Silva’s foreign travels have been banned and the Supreme Court has issued an interim to hand over his passport to the Court.

The above order was made in consideration of the fundamental rights petition filed by former MP Hirunika Premachandra challenging the Presidential Pardon granted to Silva.

The petition was called in before the Supreme Court Bench comprising Justices Yasantha Kodagoda, Preethi Padman Surasena, and Achala Vengappuli.
