Colombo Chief Magistrate Rashmi Singappuli has rejected the bail application seeking the release of the university students.
The 21 university students were arrested by the police last week after they forcibly entered the Higher Education Ministry premises. The court has remanded them unitl October 29.
The Cinnamon Gardens police had reportedly objected to the bail application on the grounds that inquiries against them were still pending.
Meanwhile, following an initiative by the Tharunyata Hetak Organization, President Mahinda Rajapaksa has decided to meet the parents of the students who have been arrested.
