24 Jun 2015 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

The Supreme Court granted Leave to Proceed in the Fundamental Rights petition filed by former Minister of Economic Affairs Basil Rajapaksa.

Rajapaksa filed the Petition on the May 21, seeking among others, an interim order releasing him from remand custody, and a declaration that all actions of the Financial Crimes Investigation Department (FCID) be deemed null and void.

Rajapaksa was released on bail last week; therefore the interim order seeking release from custody was not material.
