The Colombo Magistrate’s Court today (28) ordered that the case involving Shashi Weerawansa, the wife of former Minister Wimal Weerawansa, who was convicted and sentenced to imprisonment for possessing a forged diplomatic passport, be called again on October 12.
The complaint was taken up today before Colombo Chief Magistrate Asanga S. Bodaragama.
Accordingly, Shashi Weerawansa, who was sentenced to imprisonment and is currently out on bail, appeared before the court.
During the proceedings, it was informed that the prison sentence imposed on her had been affirmed by the Colombo High Court and that an appeal against the verdict had been filed before the Supreme Court.
As the relevant Supreme Court journal entries pertaining to the appeal had not been submitted, the Magistrate granted time for them to be presented.
Accordingly, the Magistrate ordered that the complaint be called again on October 12.
