Salley’s petition seeking compensation from NFF denied

Date:

The Colombo High Court today (23) denied a petition filed by former Governor of the Western Province Azath Salley seeking compensation for the damage done to him via what he claimed as a malicious complaint against him by a group of Parliament members from the National Freedom Front aka Jathika Nidahas Peramuna.

The complaint cited NFF MPs representing the Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP) Mohammed Muzammil, Nimal Piyatissa and Gamini Waleboda as respondents.

Salley was arrested and remanded for over eight months based on the complaint by the Ruling Party MPs alleging that the former Governor had delivered extremist ideologies about the country’s law and the Islam law. Charges against Salley were dropped by the High Court on December 02, 2021.
