Update: Appeal Court quashes petition by ex-IGP Deshabandu Tennakoon to block arrest

Date:

March 17, Colombo (LNW): The Court of Appeal today (17) has rejected a petition filed by former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandu Tennakoon, which sought to prevent his arrest in connection with a shooting incident in Weligama.

The court dismissed the petition without hearing it and imposed a court fee of Rs. 150,000 on Tennakoon.

The petition was filed by Tennakoon in an attempt to secure an interim injunction that would block the enforcement of an arrest order issued by the Matara Magistrate’s Court.

The arrest order had been issued in relation to a shooting incident that occurred at the W15 Hotel in Weligama, which is currently under investigation.
