The Colombo High Court today refused a request by lawyers representing Yoshitha Rajapaksa to issue an injunction order nullifying the remand order given by the Kaduwela Magistrate on January 30.

The court ordered Rajapaksa's lawyers to file counter-objections.
The next hearing was fixed for March 8
