Counsel Asela Rekawa today appeared before the Colombo High Court and informed the Court that Dhanuna Tillekaratne the first accused of the Hicorp case had given instructions to him to represent him in Court.

The counsel informed Court that he had received instructions from Dhanuna Tillekaratne from a foreign country and that he was not aware of Dhanuna’s whereabouts.

Senior State Counsel Damith Totawatta told Court that the prosecution would not object to the matter.

Accordingly, the High Court granted permission to defense counsel to appear on behalf of the first accused Dhanuna and advised to take the responsibility of the entire matter. (Daily Mirror online)

Apsara, in the context of Justice in Sri Lanka "The Law of the Jungle" is applicable to Philosopher Mervin Silva.

Mr. lawyer, this Dhanuna fellow has absconded once. Make sure he pays your fee before you do the representation in court. The notes could be printed by his rogue friends. Just be careful.

Is today April Fool Day? How does Rekawa even know it is Danuna?

HAS ANOMA MEET HER LOVING SON IN LOW AND CHANGE HIS MIND

garawi Friday, 29 October 2010 01:58 PM

So he slipped out of the country without appearing before a SL court! Another reason to charge him on absconding!

The People, Politicians,Law officers,Religious scholars are all fools is this island nation, except for few. They have no idea how to look into issues, make wise decision & good judgment. People must use their god given brain & think & think & think.

NADARAJAH SETHURUPAN Friday, 29 October 2010 02:10 PM

is he alive and hiding?

gona Saturday, 30 October 2010 07:40 PM

How is D Lawyer being paid, with virtual money?

Rajitha Friday, 29 October 2010 02:35 PM

torture him good and the truth about Danuna's whereabouts would come out nicely.

Ahamed Afker Friday, 29 October 2010 02:37 PM

How Danuna come to the Court ?.....,now SL court decisions are well known to everyone before verdict is given.Such a predictable.

Silva Friday, 29 October 2010 02:47 PM

Sounds a bit fishy..... the Counsel does not know where he is???? Is he still hiding - I am sure he is in Sri Lanka. When the colleague gives in Dhanuna knows its bad for him and lots of unwanted information will come out.... Is he Counsel saying the truth????

Jaliya Friday, 29 October 2010 02:51 PM

But did you not know that Anoma doesn't have any trust in the Justice system in Sri Lanka. Its hard to believe why she is living in SL.
Anoma knows that the loving s-i-l is one of the culprits.Hey presto if SF won the presidential elections how she should be loving the justice system?????

sinha ranasinha Saturday, 30 October 2010 08:28 AM

Wow wow wow... Where is Apsara, who always claiming her father is the one and only who safe guard our country from LTTE ?????

JAYA Friday, 29 October 2010 03:34 PM

you better have a brain check up one nut may be loose

Ranjit Saturday, 30 October 2010 08:40 AM

As someone said before no one in SL can escape injustice.

Asoka Saturday, 30 October 2010 09:34 AM

Dhanuna may be a important person for his wife, parents and his in laws but has no significance to the country. It is unfortunate this is in public domain. This only gives something for the people to talk about though it has no relevance to them at all.

Ruwan Ferdinandez Friday, 29 October 2010 05:16 PM

Don't be silly Ahamed

Concerned Citizen Saturday, 30 October 2010 11:23 AM

Really, did they tell you???

Mahmood Friday, 29 October 2010 09:16 PM

USA has another case against Danuna.

gamini Saturday, 30 October 2010 01:29 AM

What a joke ! He runs away from all charges and chose a scape goat to represent him. Is it legal ?

gamini Saturday, 30 October 2010 01:32 AM

How could a counsel represent any person when they don't even know that person's where abouts. Is it real ?

G.D.D.JAYASIRI Saturday, 30 October 2010 01:39 AM

If Dhanuna is convicted by the COURTS with a jail sentence, the lawyer appearing for him should be jailed until Dhanuna is caught and jailed.

pema Saturday, 30 October 2010 02:07 PM

Anoma is a great lady. she is brave. Women in Sri-lanka should support her..

mike Saturday, 30 October 2010 02:45 PM

Danuna do you want to join with the father in law?

channa Saturday, 30 October 2010 02:50 AM

This lawyer knows where Ghanuna is....Get the info out from him.

gotapakaya Saturday, 30 October 2010 03:24 AM
