Colombo High Court Called JMO Report On Basil Rajapaksa

FCID  has filed action in the court for utilizing State funds of  36.3  million  to purchase pipes for  election purposes.  This case is pending.

Basil’s passport is impounded in several cases.

In the meantime,  he had requested permission to leave the country from December 10 till March 2 for medical checkups in the USA. He informed court that he had been taking medicine from the US,  but had not been present for checkups in person for nearly two years.

The AG objected, saying that the period of three months was too long to be allowed to stay out of the country. He requested a JMO report to ascertain if Rajapaksa cannot be treated in Sri Lanka.

The Colombo High Court today called for a JMO report on former minister Basil Rajapaksa’s health condition  after he requested to leave the country for three months for medical purposes. Two more requests to leave the country pertaining to other cases are to be heard on December 2.

The case was fixed for inquiry on 7^th December 2016.
