Colombo, March 20 (Daily Mirror) - A Fundamental Rights petition filed by former CID Director Shani Abeysekara seeking an order preventing the CID from arresting him in respect of the allegations mentioned at the Kuliyapitiya Magistrate's Court was today fixed for support by the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court three-judge-bench comprising Justices Janak de Silva, Priyantha Fernando and Sampath Abayakoon fixed the petition for support on October 16.

The former CID Director also sought an order restraining former President Gotabaya Rajapakse from issuing a detention order in terms of Section 9(1) of the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) in his capacity as the Minister of Defence in respect of the allegations set out in a B-Report at the Kuliyapitiya Magistrate's Court.

Shani Abaysekara said he became aware that on February 10, 2022, a B report has been filed by Chief Inspector Lalitha Dissanayake alleging that the serious omissions made by the petitioner paved the way to the Easter Sunday attacks.

Another corrupt crook. Walan Shani is a major mistake by this government. A utter failure.

Yohan says another crook. Whether crook or not he was arrested and put in remand. During the coninuation of the same regime he was released for want of evidence. Police must not arrest people and fish for evidence. Arrest when evidence to prosecute is available. IG must address this issue ASAP

Never-ending objections or investigations delay the justice to find its ultimate denial.
