April 24, 2012 12:29 pm
The Appeals Court today (April 24) granted more time for the Homagama Magistrate to conduct investigations into the disappearance of journalist Prageeth Eknaligoda.
The decision was taken when the petition filed by Mr. Eknaligoda’s wife was taken up in court today.
It was presented in court that the Homagama Magistrate is currently conducting an investigation into the incident and will give a decision on May 17 whether or not to call upon former Attorney General Mohan Peiris to give evidence in the case.
Therefore, according to the request made by the Homagama Magistrate Court to postpone the hearing, the Appeals Court decided to call upon the petition once again on May 31.
