Medicine procurement rackets
The Court of Appeal yesterday (04) put off its ruling on the petition filed by former Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella, seeking an order to invalidate the Maligakanda Magistrate’s Court’s decision to remand him pending the conclusion of the trial over the alleged procurement of fake medicinal drugs.
The Appeals Court judge bench comprising President of the Court of Appeal Nissanka Bandula Karunaratne and Justice Shashi Mahendran said the relevant decision on whether to grant leave to proceed with the petition would be issued on 03 Oct., 2024.
The CID arrested Rambukwella on 02 February over his alleged complicity in the fraud.
