SLC Contempt of Court summons withdrawn |
|
Summons were issued on the Members
of the Interim Committee of Sri Lanka Cricket (respondents) for
contempt of Court on a case filed by Mr. Anura Weerasinghe. The
case came up today for hearing (11.05.2006). Mr. Romesh de Silva
President’s Counsel with Harsha Amarasekera & Naomal Pelpola,
Attorneys-at-Law appeared for the respondents and made
submissions that the Summons were not proper in law, in that it
did not conform to the stipulated format in law and moved Court
that summons be withdrawn. The Honourable District Judge then
made an order recalling the Summons for Contempt filed by the
Petitioner. Further submissions were made by the President’s
Counsel for the Respondent that Summons for Contempt of Court
should not have been issued at all as there was no act of
Contempt of Court and moved Court to inquire into the question
of whether summons should be issued on the Respondents. The
learned Judge accordingly fixed the matter for inquiry on
25/05/2006.
