Former Minister Johnston Fernando has filed a petition in the Court of Appeal seeking an injunction restraining his arrest.
He has been named as a suspect in the attacks in Minagogama and Gotagogama and has requested the CID to issue a restraining order against him as his arrest is illegal.
Although police say that two teams of CID officers have been deployed to arrest Johnston Fernando, the CID has not been able to arrest him for several days.
