The Attorney General today informed the Court of Appeal that the Chinese national who filed a writ petition challenging his deportation to China following the possession of forged passports was a wanted person in China over a drug offence case.

Deputy Solicitor General Janaka Bandara made this revelation when the writ petition filed by the Chinese national challenging his deportation to China was taken up before the Court of Appeal.

The Deputy Solicitor General further stated that a Chinese court had issued an arrest warrant against this person in 2019 over a pending case relating to drug offences.

Meanwhile, President's Counsel Sanjeewa Jayawardena appearing for the petitioner Li Pan informed court that he has received instructions from his client to withdraw the application. Accordingly, Court of Appeal two-judge-bench comprising Justices Nissanka Bandula Karunaratne and Justice M.A.R. Marikkar allowed the petitioner to withdraw the petition and the matter was dismissed accordingly. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)

The state minister stated he has come for investment. Some charge must be imposed on the Minister for interfering and not let Airport officials do their job.

Now it is time to question and charge the State Minister who was responsible for his release. Going after the Immigration officers is useless as these are days that government servants must bow down to politicians or face reprisals

So, one Minister orders release of chineese guy and another member of Parliament escaped after smuggling gold. So , now the games are like day light robberies.

The Minister may have received some payment or bribe, in cash or other less traceable way for the purpose of letting the wanted criminal get out. The particular Minister's son was previously accused of misuse of ministerial vehicle some years back. There is corruption or misuse of official position, and the Minister is doing crooked things just like MP Ali Sabry Raheem who claims he knew nothing of the many millions of gold he brought in, along with 91 brand new top range mobile phones.

When these things happen which country will think of investing in Sri Lanka. Sad state of affairs. There is a way to bring in an investor which must happen via BOI. A wanted criminal enters and whereabouts not known. Must have claimed a refugee status

How come a minister gets involved in releasing him? First question the minister.
