TM Dilshan surrendered in court over maintenance case

Court had issued an arrest warrant


By Shehan Chamika Silva

Former Sri Lankan Cricket Captain, Tilakaratne Dilshan, who had been warranted for not appearing before court over a maintenance case filed against him, was today surrendered to court, and subsequently Colombo Chief Magistrate Lal Ranasinghe Bandara recalled the arrest warrant issued yesterday against the respondent.

The Counsel, who appeared for the respondent told magistrate that he had mistakenly noted the subsequent calling date of the case, therefore could not advise his client to appear before court properly.

The Chief Magistrate advised the respondent to appear before court on next date appropriately.

The Court issued arrest warrant on TM Dilshan yesterday (April 24) over not attending at a calling date of an on going maintenance case filed against him.

The maintenance case was put off for May 24.
