Injunction Order Against 'Silence In The Courts' Extended Till Tomorrow

Colombo District Court Judge M.U. Gunawardena extended the injunction order against Prasanna Vithanage's movie 'Usaviya Nihandayi' (Silence in the Court) till tomorrow.

The case was postponed since a lawyer representing the plaintiff, Magistrate Lenin Rathnayake, could not be present at the court today due to a personal reason.

The defendants will submit their arguments on as to why the order should not be extended tomorrow.

Lenin Rathnayake, on October 5, filed a case at the District Court seeking the banning of the film, alleging that it is based on false facts and is damaging to both himself and the judiciary.
