The Puttalam High Court has refused to grant bail to Attorney-at-law Hejaaz Hizbullah who has been detained for over 20 months.
The judge has refused the bail order as it is not under her jurisdiction, despite the Attorney General’s consent to grant bail bail.
The Attorney General’s (AG) Department said on January 20 that it had no objections to releasing Hizbullah on bail subject to conditions.
