The Colombo High Court denied bail to Bodu Bala Sena (BBS) General Secretary, Ven. Galaboda Atte Gnanasara Thera. Judge Adithya Patabendige cited the absence of special circumstances to justify bail, rejecting the application made on behalf of Ven. Gnanasara Thera.
The defense had argued for bail pending appeal, citing delays in the Court of Appeal proceedings and the health condition of the accused. However, the court remained unmoved by these pleas, signaling a continued legal battle for Ven. Gnanasara Thera.
