The Colombo High Court on Wednesday granted bail to former UPFA MP Sajin de Vass Gunawardena who is in custody for allegedly misusing vehicles belonging to the President Secretariat Office.

A bail application was accepted when the case was taken up for hearing before High Court Judge Manilal Vaidyatilaka. The former MP was enlarged on a cash bail of Rs.1 million and two personal bails of Rs.20 million each.
