Lawyers cry foul as man fouls law keeper

By L.B. Senaratne

A police officer attached to the Kadugannawa police station, who sighted a man against whom a warrant had been issued and tried to arrest him within the Magistrates Court premises was assaulted by the suspect.
In the fracas which resulted, the mother of the accused who attempted to prevent the arrest, grappled with the police.

It was revealed the accused had come to attend a case being heard at the High Court of Kandy. Police personnel who had seen the accused and recognised him had then attempted to arrest him
Lawyers who were present informed the police that it was not lawful to arrest anyone within Court premises. However since the accused had assaulted a constable he was arrested and taken away by the Kadugannawa police.
