A request made by police to remove the obstructions caused to the access road of the Presidential Secretariat owing to GotaGoHome protest has been referred to the Colombo Chief Magistrate's Court.

Colombo Additional Magistrate Shalani Perera was ordered to refer this application to be heard before Colombo Chief Magistrate on May 10.

The Additional Magistrate made this order consequent to a request made by Fort Police through the Attorney General's Department.

Meanwhile, Colombo Additional Magistrate Harshana Kekunawala yesterday decided to refrain from hearing the magisterial inquiry relating to the protest at Galle Face green.

State Counsel Shavindra Wickrema appearing for the Fort Police told that he is ready to make an application regarding the obstructions caused by protesters opposite the Presidential Secretariat.

A group of lawyers including President's Counsel Saliya Pieris and Upul Jayasuriya PC appearing for an individual engaged in the protest raised objections against the prosecution's request and moved Court that they be allowed to peruse the video footage presented to the court by police.

Taking into consideration the facts, Additional Magistrate Shalini Perera fixed the case for May 10 to be heard before Colombo Chief Magistrate. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)
