Colombo, August 21 (Daily Mirror) - The Officials from the Colombo Magistrate’s Court today put up a written proclamation on former Minister Rajitha Senaratne's residence, directing him to appear before court on August 29 under Section 60(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

The officials also made an announcement using loudspeaker at his residence in Thalahena, Malabe.

Colombo Chief Magistrate Thanuja Lakmali Jayathunga on Wednesday ordered the Bribery Commission to publish a written proclamation on former Minister Rajitha Senaratne, who is alleged to be evading court, directing him to appear before court on August 29 under Section 60(1) of the Code of Criminal Procedure.

The order was issued following a motion filed before the Colombo Chief Magistrate’s Court by the investigating officer and the Assistant Director of the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption, seeking such a directive.

This sounds personal. Do not expect independent government officers act in this manner.

Whenever he turns up he should be made to pay for all the costs incurred in finding him . All his properties should be confiscated.

Is this the system change to use loud speakers the gullible supporters wanted. Remember presumption of innocence unless proven guilty is a fundamental principle in justice.

Why is he hiding if he's innocent? He should face court to clear his name. ONLY THE GUILTY AVOID THE COURTS!!!!

Probably airport security cameras will have seen him boarding a flight to a country where SL has no extradition agreement

Loudspeakers ? They came prepared with Loudspeakers on the back of a truck ??????? Pre-planned drama !!! What kind of lame, kindergarten action is this by court officials ? Shameful ! You take the cops, not loudspeakers. And arrest everyone on the property as accessories to a criminal evading arrest !

There is nothing personal or unusual. Unless unknown, this is the usual procedure to be adopted when a suspect absconds court. How often it is practiced is debatable.

The Prosecutors are overstepping their mark to use loudspeakers, of course with court permission. This procedure has not been used before even to arrest the worst criminal. It doesn't look good for the government. Saying that we must also remember the system change that was promised. Any legal provisions that have not been used in the past can be used at any time
