The Court of Appeal has issued an interim order preventing the arrest or recording of statements from former Attorney General Dappula de Livera by the Terrorism Investigation Division (TID), Ada Derana reporter said.
Earlier today (April 24), De Livera had filed a petition before the Court of Appeals with regard to the summons issued on him to appear before the Terrorism Investigation Division (TID) for obtaining a statement from him.
He has filed this petition through his attorneys.
De Livera was once again issued a summons to appear before the TID today (April 24), following his failure to comply with the earlier summons issued on him to appear before the TID on April 19 and also April 21.
However, the former Attorney General’s lawyer appeared before the TID on April 19 and submitted a seven-page legal objection on his behalf.
Nevertheless, it has been decided to notify the court if the former Attorney General once again fails to appear before the TID today.
