Notice issued by the CA returnable on February 24.
The Court of Appeal today issued notices on former Army Commander General Shavendra Silva, IGP Chandana Wickremaratne, and several others returnable for February 24 in connection with a writ petition filed by 22 government parliamentarians representing Sri Lanka Podujana Peramuna (SLPP).
In a writ petition filed in the Court of Appeal, 22 government parliamentarians representing the SLPP and several others have sought an order directing the authorities to conduct a comprehensive investigation in order to ascertain whether former Army Commander General Shavendra Silva, IGP Chandana Wickremaratne or any other respondents have willfully disobeyed the orders given by former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa to take action to prevent the damages to property and people following the attack on Galle Face protesters on May 9.
Minister Bandula Gunawardena, Prasanna Ranatunga, and 37 SLPP activists, including 20 parliamentarians whose properties were damaged or destroyed following the mob attacks, filed this petition, naming former Army Commander General Shavendra Silva, Defence Secretary Kamal Gunarathne, Senior DIG Deshabandu Thennakoon, Army Commander Lieutenant General H.L.V.M. Liyanage, and several others as respondents.
