The Colombo High Court has announced that the ruling on Parliamentarian Kumara Welgama's revision petition in a case filed against him will be delivered on September 12.

The Bribery and Corruption Commission had filed a case against the former minister at the Colombo Chief Magistrate's court before the accused had filed a revision petition at the High Court.
