The Colombo High Court today for the fourth time issued summons on the President and the Prime Minister to appear in court for the trial against former General Secretary of UNP Tissa Attanayake.
The court also postponed the trial against Mr Attanayake for October 9.
The trial is over the display of an allegedly fraudulent document to the media during the last Presidential Election for the purpose of affecting the result of common candidate Maithripala Sirisena.
When the case was taken up for trial before High Court Judge Sashi Mahendran, the Judge postponed the case after observing that President Maitripala Sirisena and Prime Minister Ranil Wickramasinghe were not present in court to give evidence. (T. Farook Thajudeen)

IF THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED TO PROCEED WITH LEGAL ACTION THEY CAN WITHDRAW THE CASE. IF NOT WARRANT SHOULD BE ISSUED TO BOTH OF THEM

In a case like this, the judge has to make an appointment with the witnesses or hear them in their office, as is common in other countries. It is not about the people but about the respect for the office.

Why does it take over 3 years to come to this conclusion? Its the same with other cases. Who is to blame for the delay of court cases? Is it the fault or these 2, the law admin or the lawyers who delay to bring out a result?
