The Colombo High Court has set a new date for the continuation of the case filed by the Attorney General against former Minister Udaya Gammanpila, who stands accused of the fraudulent use of shares valued at Rs. 20 million, allegedly belonging to an Australian businessman.
The case was taken up today (21) before Colombo High Court Judge R.S.S. Sapuwida, who ordered that the proceedings be recalled on November 21 for further examination.
Originally filed during the previous Yahapalana government, the case alleges that Gammanpila misused the shares using a forged power of attorney.
