Prof. Samarasekara could be arrested for loss of Thajudeen’s body parts: AG
The
Attorney General informed the Colombo High Court today that there is a
possibility of arresting former Colombo Chief Medical Officer Prof.
Ananda Samarasekara over the alleged loss of body parts of rugby player
Wasim Thajudeen.
Deputy
Solicitor General Dilan Ratnayake appearing for the Attorney General
made this observation when a revision application filed by Prof.
Samarasekara was taken up before High Court Judge R. Gurusinghe.
Meanwhile, the inquiry into a revision application filed by former
Colombo Chief Medical Officer Prof. AnandaSamarasekara challenging the
Colombo Magistrate’s Court order to reject anticipatory bail for him
over the alleged loss of body parts of rugby player Wasim Thajudeen was
re-fixed for August 24 by Colombo High Court, today.
President's
Counsel Shavindra Fernando appearing for Prof. Samarasekara informed
court that his client has undergone heart surgery.
In
his revision application, Prof. Samarasekara had cited CID Homicide
Investigations Unit OIC and the Attorney General as the respondents.
At a previous occasion, former Colombo Chief JMO and Vice Chancellor of
the South Asian Institute of Technology and Medicine (SAITM) Prof.
Ananda Samarasekara filed an anticipatory bail application in Court to
pre-empt the possibility of his arrest on charges of a non-bailable
offence relating to the alleged loss of body parts of Thajudeen.
On September 15, 2016 Colombo Additional Magistrate Dulani Amarasinghe
refused to grant anticipatory bail on the former JMO, citing that the
investigation pertaining to the loss of body parts of Thajudeen could be
hampered if the petitioner was granted anticipatory bail.
However, Prof.Samarasekara sought an order to revise Colombo
Magistrate’s Court order through his revision application, to refuse him
with anticipatory bail.
Prof. Samarasekara denied allegations levelled against him and maintained that he had not committed any offence.
President’s Counsel Shavindra Fernando with Counsel Iresh Seneviratne appeared for the former JMO.
Deputy Solicitor General Dilan Ratnayake appeared for the Attorney General.
