Suresh Sallay, who is currently hospitalized, were not submitted to the court.
Colombo Fort Magistrate Pasan Amarasena issued the order after considering a request made by Additional Solicitor General Dileepa Peiris, who appeared for the prosecution, when the relevant complaint was taken up today, Ada Derana reporter said.
