The Colombo High Court today fixed the trial over 'hit and run' road accident case against former Minister Champika Ranawaka and two others on May 31.
Earlier the Attorney General filed indictment papers against former Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka at the Colombo High Court on charges of reckless driving and failure to prevent an accident.
The former minister is charged of causing grievous injury to a person due to an accident and negligent driving on February 28, 2016. The charges also include fabricating false evidence and giving false information during the police investigations as well.
The lawyer who appeared on behalf of former Minister Ranawaka told the courts that his client will file preliminary objections to the charges filed by the AG and noted that the High Court has jurisdiction to hear the case.
