Preliminary objections to the charges against MP Patali Champika Ranawaka for inflicting serious injury to a person by reckless driving in Rajagiriya would be made before commencing the trial, President's Counsel Sarath Jayamanne informed the Colombo High Court.

Accordingly, Colombo High Court Judge Namal Balalle directed that preliminary objections be filed in writing by August 31.

The defendant was not required to appear in court on that day, according to the High Court Judge, who cited the country's current condition.
