The case against Minister Prasanna Ranatunga and his wife was today fixed for judgment by Colombo High Court.

Colombo High Court Judge Manjula Tillekaratne hearing the case informed that the judgment regarding this case would be delivered on June 6.

Both prosecution and defence concluded their oral submissions before trial judge.

The Attorney General had filed indictments against Minister Prasanna Ranatunge, his wife Maureen Ranatunge and another person on the charge of threatening a businessman demanding the rest of money out of Rs.64 million.

The Colombo High Court decided to proceed the trial against Prasanna Ranatunge and his wife in absentia of third accused Naresh Kumar Fareek who was evading courts from the beginning of investigations. 

The Attorney General filed indictments on 15 counts against three accused Prasanna Ranatunge, Maureen Ranatunge and Naresh Kumar Fareek based on charges of committing offences between April 6, 2015 and June 2, 2015.  (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)

    Court cannot try the same trial twice. This is the new way of clearing their names from all cases while decieving people.

    This is only an eyewash. Judgement is a foregone conclusion.

    No guilty, if anything different from this, something has gone wrong in Sri Lanka. I bet!
