The Colombo Fort Magistrate has ordered the CID to confiscate the property of Dhanuna Tillekaratna, the son-in-law of General Sarath Fonseka after he failed to appear in court for the HiCorp case before a deadline of 9.00 a.m. today

Accordingly a sum of Rs. 15 million and US $1251 which is stored in seven bank accounts belonging to Dhanuna Tillekaratne will be confiscated.

The CID is investigating if there are any additional properties owned by Dhanuna and will present the information in court soon.

The Fort Magistrate had last month ordered the CID to publish a written proclamation for Dhanuna Tillekaratne to appear in court on June 30 at 9.00 a.m. and said the proclamation must be put up in the Court premises, certain public places and near his residence.

Lawfully it is right...

A justifiable move. Auction them to cover legal costs.

I think he feels better to loose his property rather than loose his limbs or life

The LTTE properties under KP were confiscated without an court order.But he is still living in a jolly mood.No need to worry. They cannot confiscate your life.Only your wealth.

It is time to investigate the origin of treasury bonds to the value of RS. 450 million held in a private bank of a former minister under CBK's Presidency.

A righteous man will never run away from facing the truth.

Better to loose his property rather than loose his life like his father in law.

Ok now poor government can increase salary by using that.

Ind Wednesday, 30 June 2010 09:22 AM

yes, if he is brave enough and innocent why doesn't he appear in the court ??

Sad tragi-comedy. One day hero next day villain. BTW Sarath Fernando it should be lose as to lose something not loose like in your belt is loose or loose change or loosely coordinated.

So many are evading the courts for unmemorable time. Why not them? Law of Sri Lanka applies only to one family?

In this country, righteous men need to 'run for cover'!

That's not his assets. It's the tax payers money.

Faqi Thursday, 01 July 2010 06:09 AM

On what grounds was this done? Typical government vendetta against the family of the General. Was it proven in court that this money was ill gotten? if no they have to prove it before they confiscate any of it. This is daylight robbery by the GOSL
