11 February 2019 10:44 am

The Special High Court today overruled the preliminary objections  raised in the case filed against former defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa stating that the Special High Court had no jurisdiction to hear the case under the Judicature (Amendment) Act.

The case was fixed for February 22 by the High Court.

The former defense secretary and six others were indicted on charges of misappropriating Rs.49 million in connection with the construction of the D. A. Rajapaksa Museum and Memorial in Medamulana. (Faruk Thajudeen)
