Former North Central Province Chief Minister S.M. Ranjith and his Private Secretary, Shanthi Chandrasena, who were sentenced to 16 years of rigorous imprisonment on corruption charges, have filed an appeal against their conviction.

The appeal was submitted to the Colombo High Court for presentation before the Court of Appeal.

In their appeal, they argue that the High Court judge failed to consider the facts they presented during the trial.

They have requested the Court of Appeal to acquit them of the charges.
