Colombo Magistrate court today refused permission for MP Duminda Silva to two weeks-visit to Singapore for medical observations.

Silva had filed an application before Additional Magistrate Priyantha Liyanage and asked that his passport be released to visit Mount Elizabeth hospital, Singapore where he was said to have underwent surgeries.

The court refused bail on two grounds that he had not forwarded medical reports with proper reasons and that he had been granted bail by the High Court.
Parliamentarian Duminda Silva is the eleventh suspect in the killing of former Presidential Advisor Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra and three others at Mulleriyawa on the local government elections day on October 8, 2011. (Lakmal Suriyagoda)

May be this was a ploy to show that the Judiciary is unbiased !

Mason Wednesday, 29 May 2013 05:46 AM

There is no stopping him. Blue eyed boy will be leaving soon with the blessings.

PREM Wednesday, 29 May 2013 06:24 AM

That means he will go with special permission from Mr MR

CASPER Wednesday, 29 May 2013 12:00 AM

Well said Sonali. Very interesting point to ponder.

yapa Wednesday, 29 May 2013 08:27 AM

Who paid and How much paid for his hospital.

Trehan Munasinghe Tuesday, 28 May 2013 05:12 PM

Please send him on a one way flight to Singapore... and keep him there...

Fayad Tuesday, 28 May 2013 11:22 AM

Labby Tuesday, 28 May 2013 12:02 PM

So the fairytale continues... and in due course it will be that they 'all lived happily ever after'.
Why all this waste of time and money ?

Sathya Tuesday, 28 May 2013 12:03 PM

All Eye Wash

Viewer Tuesday, 28 May 2013 12:11 PM

Why stopping ? Send him for two weeks, so we have that period without a pest.

Kamal-USA Tuesday, 28 May 2013 12:55 PM

Sir, I hope you will get well soon and serve our people. We are waiting for you !!!!

renu Tuesday, 28 May 2013 01:01 PM

There is nothing at all wrong with this fellow. He should be given permission to go to gallows

renu Tuesday, 28 May 2013 01:02 PM

Is the passport impounded by court?

Vaz Tuesday, 28 May 2013 01:30 PM

Just to show to the general public that all the decisions are not in favour of him, but he will get it next time

Sonali De Silva Tuesday, 28 May 2013 11:20 AM

"where he was said to have underwent surgeries" is not the same as "where he underwent surgery". So which is it? Maybe he is coming out of his amnesia and needs to go back to forget.

Upali Tuesday, 28 May 2013 07:26 PM

Judges take the oath for action without 'fear of favour'. And they earn the respect of the public. Hats off to Hon. judge!

Citizen slva Tuesday, 28 May 2013 11:20 PM

Why dont we start a voting system.
WILL HE BE ALLOWED TO GO OR NOT
WILL BE ALLOWED
WILL NOT BE ALLOWED

chintake Wednesday, 29 May 2013 12:03 AM

It is unfair. Giving two weeks for medical attention is reasonable request. No need to debate or comments.

matara guanawardanay Wednesday, 29 May 2013 12:06 AM

Yes fayad definitly King president will supercede the court order and help him wait and see????

Tommy Wednesday, 29 May 2013 12:38 AM

Nothing to worry. Things will work as he prefers. This is a temporary move, just to pretend that "justice", is still working out in this" miracle of Asia"!

satish Wednesday, 29 May 2013 12:59 AM

Dr. Mervyn Siva could treat him with his post graduate degree in Alternate medicine. Why this excuse to go on holidays to Singapore. and hoodwink the courts.

sss Wednesday, 29 May 2013 01:24 AM
