Parliamentarian Duminda Silva, who is accused of the murder of Presidential Advisor Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra during the shootout on October 08, 2011, suffered severe head injuries during the incident.
The lawyers appearing for the ruling party MP today told the court that Silva would not be able to visit Sri Lanka at least for another 2 months due to more surgery scheduled in Singapore.
Presidential Counsel Hemantha Warnakulasuriya said Hirunika Premachandra, daughter of the slain UPFA member was continuing to make false media statements and there is no truth to the media reports that Silva has arrived in the country.
Colombo Additional Magistrate Prasanna De Alwis meanwhile, dismissed the contempt of court charges against Hirunika Premachandra filed by Silva`s lawyesrs saying that the Magistrate`s Court did not have jurisdiction to hear a contempt of court offence that has been committed outside court.

The role of the Bench to deliver justice depending greatly on the role played by the Bar to assist court by providing correct & truthful information, citing sources both recorded and unrecorded and thus in the creation of the judgement, But the fact remain as to how we can expect from lawyers of this calibre who cry hell for money leaving all norms.
Sri Lankans who reside in Italy knows well about this Attorney who represented their country.
What a disgrace of an Ambassador to act this shamelessly.
