Seth Sarana Director files petition for dismissal of Riyaj’s writ

16 Oct 2020

An interlocutory petition has been filed on behalf of Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith by Fr. Lawrence Ramanayake, Director of Seth Sarana in the Court of Appeal seeking the dismissal of the writ petition filed by Riyaj Bathiudeen, a brother of former Minister Rishad Bathiudeen, seeking an injunction restraining him from being re-arrested by the CID. Father Ramanayake, who filed the interlocutory petition, said that the police spokesman had recently told the media that there was sufficient evidence against the suspect Riyaj Bathiudeen, who was arrested in connection with the terrorist attack on Easter Sunday. However, he points out that it is unacceptable that the CID has taken steps to release the suspect Riyaj Bathiudeen. Meanwhile, the Court of Appeal directed that the writ petition filed by Riyaj Bathiudeen be called on the 20th of this month. The petition was taken up before a panel of Court of Appeal judges comprising Mahinda Samayawardena and Arjuna Obeysekera today (16).
