Counsel for Sri Lanka's former Army Commander to quit

Nalin Ladduwahetti, the counsel appearing for Sri Lanka's former Army Commander Sarath Fonseka in his legal cases, has asked from Mrs. Anoma Fonseka to correct the media reports that said the lawyer had not provided substantial service to his client in the hearing of the famous 'white flag' case.



The lawyer has said he is unhappy due to the media reports that criticized his service to Fonseka.

Nalin Ladduwahetti has also decided not to appear in other cases against Fonseka.However, he has filed an appeal for Fonseka in the 'while flag' case.

Ladduwahetti says he appeared free of charge for Fonseka but cannot continue it further.

The three-member trial-at-bar of the Colombo High Court that heard the controversial 'White Flag' case against the former Army Commander last month found him guilty of the charges and sentenced to 3 years in prison.
