The Colombo Magistrate’s Court has ordered that remanded MP Chamara Sampath Dassanayake and his personal secretary, Sumathipala Liyanarachchi, be produced before court on November 20.

The two are in remand custody over corruption allegations.

Written submissions supporting Dassanayake’s bail application were filed by his lawyers, while the court directed the Commission to Investigate Allegations of Bribery or Corruption (CIABOC) to submit any objections.

Meanwhile, the court rejected the bail application filed on behalf of Liyanarachchi.
