Colombo, June 28 (Daily Mirror) – Former Colombo district Parliamentarian Hirunika Premachandra, who has been jailed for 3 years by the High Court of Colombo for her involvement in the abduction of a youth using a Defender, is expected to seek bail from the Colombo High Court.

President’s Counsel Anura Meddegoda, appearing for Hirunika Premachandra, informed the Colombo High Court that the defense is expecting to file for bail pending appeal for the accused. 

The defense can seek bail in terms of Section 20(2) of the Bail Act (No. 30 of 1997), requesting the release of the accused on bail since an appeal has been filed against the conviction.
