The Trial-at-bar Judges Ms. Deepali Wijesundera (President) W. T.M.P.B. Warawewa and M.Z. Razeen made this order on the defense following the submissions made by Senior Defense Counsel Nalin Ladduwahetty before the High Court.

Counsel Ladduwahetty submitted that the accused, Fonseka had determined to make a statement in the Court. However due to the tense situation that is prevailing in the court on post war state of affairs his client needs time to further think over his stand point and allow him time to take a decision over the issue.
