திலித், விமல், கம்மன்பில ஆகியோருக்கு எதிரான முறைப்பாட்டின் விசாரணை ஆரம்பம்!

Newswire and Ada Derana report that the Court of Appeal started considering a complaint from the Colombo Fort Magistrate concerning several people, including MP Dilith Jayaweera and former ministers Wimal Weerawansa and Udaya Gammanpila. Hiru News (සිංහල) says six people are involved and reports that the court set aside the day for the matter.

Newswire reports that the case concerns public comments connected to inquiries involving former State Intelligence Service director Suresh Sallay. The arguments reported by Newswire focus on whether statements criticizing police or criminal investigators could fall within contempt of court.

He said his client’s remarks concerned alleged wrongdoing by investigators, including former CID officer Shani Abeysekara, rather than misconduct by courts, and questioned whether the 2024 contempt law applied.

Sabry said the wider interview conveyed greater public confidence in the judiciary’s handling of the Sallay-related inquiries, and alleged that investigators selected a portion of it, misled the court and misused judicial processes.
