Verdict on Passport case against Shashi postponed

Colombo Additional Magistrate Chandima Liyanage today (11) ordered that the verdict in the case filed against former minister Wimal Weerawansa's wife Shashi Weerawansa, who is accused of obtaining an illegal diplomatic passport by presenting false information, be announced on May 6.

When the case was called the defendant Shashi Weerawansa was present in court.

The CID initiated investigations and filed the case against Shashi Weerawansa during the Good Governance regime on the charges that she had committed an offence under the Immigration and Emigration Act by obtaining an informal diplomatic passport by submitting false information.
