Full-face helmets: Stay order on ban extended

30 June 2015 04:51 am

The Court of Appeal today extended the interim order issued staying the operation of the police advisory banning the use of face-covered helmets, until July 14.

Justice Vijith K. Malalgoda (President) gave this ruling sequent to two writ petitions filed by a Chartered Accountant and a Retired Army Major who sought an order prohibiting the authorities from taking any action on banning the use of face-covered helmets. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)
