The Colombo High Court today acquitted and released Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa and and former Director-General of Divi Neguma Department Kithsiri Ranawaka from the controversial almanac case.
High Court Judge Damith Thotawatta made this order pursuant to a request made by defence to acquit them from the charges, on the basis that the prosecution evidence has failed to establish the commission of the offences against accused in the indictment.
Accordingly, Colombo High Court ordered to acquit and release Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa and former Director-General of Divi Neguma Department Kithsiri Ranawaka from the almanac case, without calling defence evidence. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)

This is another clear indication of the unethical legal system in this country. All criminals, murderers, drug traffickers and other notorious gangs have been acquitted of their crimes. The entire legal system is corrupt. Shame on Chi Lanka

Entire country knew that long time back that Basil would be acquitted. Waste of time and money

How did the AG file indictments without adequate evidence in the first place? The judiciary is nothing but laughable.
