White Flag bail application:

Court sets May 9 to decide on three issues

The Supreme Court yesterday fixed May 9 for a decision on three issues in respect of the White Flag Case bail application.

The matters to be taken up are as follows:

*An application filed by Attorney-at-Law Nalin Laduwahetty in respect of the continuation of treatment of Sarath Fonseka at the at the Nawaloka Hospital on humanitarian grounds.

*To decide on the date to file the bail application of Sarath Fonseka either at the High Court of Supreme Court.

*To fix a date for the appointment of a reconstituted five member Bench.

The Bench comprised of Chief Justice Shirani Bandaranayake, Justice Sri Pavan and Justice Priyasath Dep.

At the outset, the Bench observed that some of the five member Bench had gone on vacation. Hence there was a need to reconstitute a new Bench.

The counsel submitted that Sarath Fonseka as the former Army Commander had thrice sustained injuries in the war against the LTTE. Some pellets are still inside his body.

As the Welikada Prison, where he is presently serving a three year jail term upon being found guilty in the 'White Flag ' case is dusty, he should be refereed to Dr. Vajira Tennakoon at the Nawaloka Hospital for treatment.

Deputy Solicitor General Palitha Fernando did not object to the application saying that, however, he has no documents in this connection.

The Bench directed such documents to be handed over at the next hearing.
