The Appeal Court today (Feb 21) ordered that the contempt of court case filed against former Northern Chief Minister C V Vigneswaran and three others would be heard on May 23 and 31.
On an earlier occasion, preliminary objections that were filed by the defendants in the case claiming that the Court of Appeal did not have the jurisdiction to hear cases pertaining to contempt of court, were dismissed by the Appeal Court itself.
Former Northern provincial councillors Ananda Sasidaran and K. Sivanesan were the other individuals who were named as the accused in the case filed by former Northern provincial councillor B. Deniswaran.
Mr. Deniswaran, in his complaint had claimed that Mr. Vigneswaran had violated the interim order issued on his removal from the post of Provincial Council Minister of Fisheries and Transport.
