The anticipatory bail application filed by Colombo's former chief judicial medical officer Ananda Samarasekera seeking bail in expectation of being arrested over alleged missing body parts of the late Wasim Thajudeen, was rejected by Colombo Additional Magistrate Dulani Amarasinghe.
Delivering an eight page order, the magistrate considered the possible impediments or influences that could effect the investigation on the murder of Wasim Thajudeen and missing body parts of the victim.
On anearlier occasion, raising a preliminary objection, Deputy Solicitor General Dilan Ratnayake revealed in court that, according to statements recorded from a few witnesses, the former chief JMO Ananda Samarasekara had dispatched body parts of Wasim Thajudeen from the refrigerator a few days prior to his retirement.
DSG informed that the CID had begun an investigation concerning the missing body parts under the Public Property Act -- because the body parts had earlier been taken into the former JMO's custody as case productions and, therefore, they belonged to the state.
In the application, the complainant, Dr Ananda Samarasekara had cited the respondent as OIC of the Crime Investigation Department.
An anticipatory bail application can be filed by an individual seeking bail in anticipation or in expectation of being named or arrested of having committed a non-bailable offense.
He had also earlier filed a fundamental Rights petition in Supreme Court against the imminent infringement of his fundamental rights in relation to the ongoing investigation into the death of late Wasim Thajudeen.
