Notice Issued On Special Investigations Unit OIC & AG on Tiran Alles’s Revision Application

In 2015, Tiran Alles was questioned by Police over the allegation that he has given state money to Tiger guerrillas through the Reconstruction and Development Agency (RADA), of which he was the Chairman. The investigation is been handled by the Police Special Investigations Unit (SIU) , which is  coming under direct  purview of the IGP. Followed by this, Alles’s passport was impounded during the Magisterial inquiry on the alleged fraud.

Through his lawyers, Alles filed a request at the Fort Magistrate Court late last month to have his passport released for six weeks. However, Fort Magistrate Lanka Jayaratne refused the request, said, that it could not be entertained as he was a suspect of a serious financial fraud.

Alles filed the revision application requesting the High Court to overturn the decision by the Fort Magistrate not to release his passport.

The OIC of  Police Special Investigations Unit (SIU) and the AG were issued notice by the Colombo High Court on yesterday over a revision application filed by former MP Tiran Alles.
