The Attorney General was today asked to submit a report before Court of Appeal on April 29 regarding the Government’s stance over Colombo Port City Project.

Justice Vijith Malalgoda made this direction when a writ petition filed by Centre for Environmental Justice seeking a writ of certiorari to suspend the operation of all illegal agreements between Chinese Harbour Engineering Company and SL Port Authority came up before Court of Appeal.

The petitioner, Centre for Environmental Justice, stated that Chinese Harbour Engineering Company has started the project to reclaim 575 acres of sea area without carrying out any proper Environmental Impact Assessment study.
