AG Peiris, former Appeal Court Judge and also former Solicitor General A.H.M.D. Nawaz and former Lanka Electricity Company (LECO) Pvt (Ltd.) secretary M.M.C Fernandinez have been accused of preparing a false document to purchase lands belonging to LECO.

Mr. Peiris is alleged to have prepared a fraudulent Attorney General's report during his term in office, in order to prevent criminal charges being filed against individuals who were involved in several irregularities in the purchase of lands belonging to LECO.
