The order on the Anticipatory Bail application filed by former Chief Judicial Medical Officer (JMO) Dr. Ananda Samarasekera in expectation of being arrested over alleged missing body parts of the late Wasim Thajudeen was fixed for September 15 by Colombo Additional Magistrate Dulani Amarasinghe.
The order was fixed after both the petitioner and respondents tendered their written submissions in court.
Earlier, Deputy Solicitor General (DSG) Dilan Ratnayake, citing witness statements, told court that Dr. Samarasekara had dispatched body parts of Wasim Thajudeen from the refrigerator a few days before his retirement.
The DSG said CID investigations into the missing body parts had commenced as they had been taken into the former JMO's custody as case productions, and therefore belonged to the state. He added that Dr. Samarasekara had removed the body parts a year prior to delivering his first autopsy report.
In the application Dr. Samarasekara had cited the OIC of the CID as the respondent. An Anticipatory Bail application can be filed by an individual seeking bail in expectation of being named or arrested of having committed a non-bailable offense.
Dr. Samarasekara had earlier filed a Fundamental Rights petition in the Supreme Court against the imminent infringement of his fundamental rights in relation to the ongoing investigation into the death of the late Wasim Thajudeen.
