Johnstan's 5 cases on non-declaration of assets re-fixed for trial

By Shehan Chamika Silva 

The trial of five cases conducted against former Minister Johnstan Fernando over not declaring his assets from 2010 to 2014 was re-fixed for March 21 by Colombo Chief Magistrate Lal Bandara today.

Since the absence of the witness of the prosecution in the trial, the Bribery Commission requested to postpone the trial.

The Bribery Commission had earlier charged him with five cases over committing an offence fell under the Non -assets declaration Act for not revealing his assets declaration in five consecutive years.

On the earlier occasion he was permitted to travel abroad temporarily.
