The case against former Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka and two others regarding the alleged hit-and-run incident in Rajagiriya in 2016 was ordered to be taken up on 11 December.
The case was presented yesterday (12) before Colombo High Court Judge Damith Thotawatta.
Deputy Solicitor General Dileep Peiris, representing the plaintiff, was directed by the Judge to facilitate the defence counsel to examine the computer-generated evidence in the case if needed.
Upon request by the Deputy Solicitor General, the court ordered the Secretary of the Ministry of Power and Energy and the Colombo Crime Division (CCD) to produce the jeep (WP KT 7545) and the motorbike involved in the incident before the court on the day of the hearing.
The case is filed over the alleged hit-and-run incident that took place on 28 February 2016 where the vehicle in which the former Megapolis and Western Province Development Minister was travelling collided against a motorcycle in Rajagiriya, causing life-threatening injuries to its rider, Sandeep Sampath Gunawardena.
In July 2020, the Attorney General (AG) filed two indictments with the Colombo High Court against former Minister Champika Ranawaka, his driver Dilum Thusitha Kumara, and former Welikada Police Station Officer In Charge (OIC) and present Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sudath Asmadala.
The former Minister was charged with causing grievous injuries to a person by rash and negligent acts, among other charges.
Meanwhile, the other indictment was filed against ASP Asmadala, who is charged with fabricating false evidence, and Thusitha Kumara, who was the former Minister’s driver.
The second indictment consists of 16 charges including fabricating false evidence, tampering with evidence, and presenting inaccurate reports to the Magistrate’s Court in order to protect a suspect.Champika's case to be heard in Dec
