Colombo (LNW): The Attorney General has filed a revision petition at the Colombo High Court demanding the nullification of the order by Colombo Chief Magistrate Prasanna Alwis dropping the charges against Convener of the Inter-University Students’ Federation (IUSF) Wasantha Mudalige under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA), in what he described as the Colombo Chief Magistrate being not vested with the jurisdiction to do so.

In his revision petition, the AG argues that the Colombo Chief Magistrate has dropped the charges against Mudalige, who was arrested under the PTA and detained pending his instructions, without taking the objections by the lawyers appearing for the AG’s Office into account, thereby demanding the nullification of the order to continue the trial against the suspect as before.
