The Colombo Magistrates Court has announced a further hearing on the case filed against the wife of MP Wimal Weerawansa which is set to take place on April 04.

Ms. Weerawansa has been accused of submitting forged documents to the Immigrations and Emigration department in order to obtain a diplomatic and a local passport.

The case was postponed until the said date since the State Counsel representing the prosecution was not present during today's court hearing.
