The Court of Appeal has concluded considering the writ petition filed by suspended Inspector General of Police (IGP) Deshabandu Tennakoon seeking an order preventing his arrest.
The Court of Appeal announced today that the decision pertaining to the writ petition will be delivered on 17 March 2025.
Suspended IGP Deshabandu Tennakoon is wanted in connection with the 2023 shooting incident at a prominent hotel in Weligama.
Last week, Tennakoon filed a writ petition in the Court of Appeal seeking an interim order to suspend the Matara Magistrate’s directive for his arrest.
However, the Matara Magistrate’s Court yesterday issued an open warrant for the immediate arrest of Tennakoon based on a request made by the CID. (Newswire)
