The Court of Appeal of Sri Lanka revised the order of the High Court of Colombo denying bail to a suspect who had been on remand for over a year for an alleged offense under Section 45(c) of the Immigration and Emigration Act. The Court of Appeal granted the suspect cash bail of Rs. 10,000 and surety bail of Rs. 1,000,000 with six approved family member sureties, noting that the suspect had already been in incarceration for over the minimum one year custodial sentence for the offense. The suspect was directed to report to the Magistrate's Court of Negombo on a weekly/monthly basis until further notice.
