Supreme Court has refused leave to proceed in a Fundamental Rights petition filed by Justice Sarath de Abrew against his recent indictment at the Colombo High Court.
The Attorney General indicted Sarath de Abrew at the Colombo High Court on two counts on committing grave sexual abuse, under Section 365 (B) of the Penal Code.
Through his petition, Abrew said that the Attorney General acted arbitrarily and did not consider statements of several witnesses before filing the indictment.
However, the Supreme Court today rejected Abrew's argument, claiming that the AG did not act arbitrarily.
Abrew has been summoned by the Colombo High Court tomorrow.
