CA further extends its order directing police not to arrest Gihan Pilapitiya

The Court of Appeal today further extended its order directing police not to arrest interdicted High Court Judge Gihan Pilapitiya without an order issued by a competent Court, until May 4.  

The petition was fixed for support on May 4.

Court of Appeal Justice (President) A.H.M.D. Nawaz and Justice Sobhitha Rajakaruna made this order pursuant to a writ petition filed by former High Court Judge Gihan Pilapitiya who sought an order preventing the Acting IGP and his agents from arresting him regarding the controversial telephone conversations with former Deputy Minister Ranjan Ramanayake.
