Keheliya goes to HC seeking bail

March 15, 2024 at 4:18 PM

The bail application filed by former Minister of Health Keheliya Rambukwella has been fixed for Monday, March 18, 2024.

Former Minister Rambukwella submitted the bail application to the Colombo High Court today requesting an order to release him on bail. 

The request comes after the Maligakanda Magistrate’s Court yesterday refused bail for Rambukwella over the case regarding the importation of substandard Immunoglobulin vaccines during his tenure as the Health Minister. 

The Court refused bail for Keheliya Rambukwella and five others until the conclusion of the case. 

In his bail application to the Colombo High Court, Rambukwella states that the magistrate’s decision to reject the bail requests of those remanded under the Public Property Act is against the law.

He further requested the court to, therefore, issue an order to release him on bail on any condition. (NewsWire)
