Court to Rule on Case Distribution and Further Hearings for Diana Gamage's Immigration Charges

The Colombo Chief Magistrate's Court, presided over by Chief Magistrate Asanga S. Bodaragama, has set two dates for decisions concerning former State Minister Diana Gamage. On May 26, the court is expected to rule on whether to distribute the seven cases filed against her by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) among different courts within the complex. This decision will also address the possibility of sequentially commencing evidence hearings for the remaining cases after one concludes. Additionally, a further hearing of evidence for one of the cases, which involves allegations of providing false information for a passport and residing in Sri Lanka without a valid visa between July 14, 2016, and November 1, 2020, has been scheduled for May 12.
