Court rejected the preliminary objections raised by the Kebitigollewa Divisional Secretary, who was charged with allowing mosquitoes to breed in the vicinity of his official quarters.

In his preliminary objection, the Divisional Secretary said the public health inspectors filed action against him under the Penal Code and not under the Prevention of Dengue Act No. 11 of 2007.

The health inspectors who filed counter-objections said any person contributing to the breeding of dengue mosquitoes was liable to legal action either under the Penal Code or the Prevention of Dengue Act.

The Kebitigollewa Magistrate Gayana Meegahage upheld the counter-objection and fixed the case for March 1. (Upali Ananda)
