The bail application filed by former MP Hirunika Premachandra requesting that she be released on bail pending an appeal against her prison sentence for the abduction of a youth has been fixed for hearing on July 15.
Colombo High Court Judge Amal Ranaraja fixed the hearing into the application for July 15 after it came up before the High Court today.

Ms Premachandra has appealed the verdict before the Court of Appeal and the bail application has been filed requesting the Colombo High Court to release her on bail pending the conclusion of the hearing into that appeal.
