The Colombo Fort Magistrate's Court today refused to accept a secret document to be filed by the Attorney General in the Central Bank bond scam case.
Magistrate Lanka Jayaratna said it should be filed in court as a public document.
At the outset of the inquiry President's Counsel Anil Silva appearing for Arjun Aloysius requested the court to grant bail to his client under special circumstances. He said his client’s child was suffering from a rare blood disease found in one in a thousand patients.
The counsel said Mr. Aloysius is also suffering from severe depression and should be treated abroad.
He said the prosecution is deliberately stigmatizing his client so as to keep him in remand and pointed out that this too should be considered as a special circumstance to grant bail to his client.
Meanwhile Senior Counsel Jeewantha Jayasinghe appearing with Ralitha Amarasena said that he will not move for bail for the fourth suspect Kasun Palisena at this stage as his client had still not been able to obtain the necessary documents of the case to prepare the bail application.
The Magistrate reserved her order on the bail application and ordered the PTL not to tamper with the data and the server of the computers as they were case productions.
The two suspects were further remanded till November 8.

This is typical. AG dept are bullying and fixing cases to get promoted. Ask srilankan airlines staff and others who are attending commissions “cooked” by the AG dept.

Aloysius and his family have depression? Well rest of the Sri Lankans have depression because of his carward act. How can anyone justify single family depression with all Shi Lankan families depression? Logic of it?

What about the suffering of millions of people who are victims of the bond scam.

It is unfair to keep suspects in custody for over 3 months without bail. When the law is that all are innocent until proven guilty in a court, that innocence must be recognised. The way things are happening these investigations may take years to complete. When filing charges they will leave room for defence to argue on a technicality to get accused discharged. That is our legal system

Maybe the top guy called to informed the court not to because there are lot of important secrets in it. Our motherland is being betrayed to this extent.
