The husband of ousted Chief Justice Pradeep Kariyawasam who was the Chairman of National Savings Bank was released on personal bail by the Colombo Magistrate Court today.

Two personal bails amounting to Rs. 10 million each was granted after Solicitor General Suhada Gamlath sought to amend the charge sheet against Kariyawasam. Counsel for Kariyawasam Saliya Peiris informed court that the amended charge sheet be accepted subject to his objections.

Kariyawasam is being charged with improper investing of funds as Chairman of the National Savings Bank.

The next hearing was postponed to April 26.
