No settlement, inquiry fixed

11 May 2015 - {{hitsCtrl.values.hits}}

The Colombo District Court today fixed for inquiry the case filed by North Western Province Chief Minister Dayasiri Jayasekara against United National Party (UNP) members Harin Fernando, Akila Viraj Kariyawasam, Daya Gamage and Ranjan Ramanayake.

When the matter was taken up previously a settlement was proposed by the court, but the four UNP members had not agreed to the terms of settlement which included an ‘apology’. Therefore an inquiry was fixed for June 11.

Jayasekara who left the UNP last year said statements made by the four UNP members following his defection were defamatory. (Lakmal Sooriyagoda)
