The Chilaw Magistrate’s Court today issued warrants for the arrest of the former Fisheries Minister of the North Western Provincial Council, Sanath Nishantha and his brother Arachchikattuwa Pradeshiya Sabha Chairman, Jagath Samantha.

A case has been filed against both politicians for obstructing the duties of the then Arachchikattuwa Divisional Secretary D. Surasinghe who had traveled to the Rajakadaluwa area on November 24, 2008 to take action regarding an illegal timber haul.

Arrest warrants were issued on the brothers as they failed to appear before the court when the case was taken up today, Ada Derana reporter said.
