The Colombo High Court on Tuesday (21) granted bail to former Additional Magistrate Thilina Gamage who has been charged for the alleged possession of an elephant calf without a valid permit.
Thilina Gamage was ordered to appear before the Court following a revised application filed with the Colombo High Court by the Attorney General seeking to annul Nugegoda Magistrate’s bail order on the former Additional Magistrate.
Former Colombo Additional Magistrate Gamage, who surrendered to the Court over the alleged possession of the elephant calf, was initially granted bail by the Nugegoda Magistrate’s Court on June 02.
Colombo Chief Magistrate Gihan Pilaitiya had recently issued notice for Gamage as well to appear before the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to record a statement with respect to the case. Gamage has also been sent on compulsory leave due to the ongoing investigation into the allegation of possession of the baby elephant.
