Two Supreme Court judges have recused themselves from hearing the petitions filed related to former Navy Commander, Admiral of the Fleet Wasantha Karannagoda.
Justices Dilip Nawaz and Priyantha Fernando announced yesterday that they have recused themselves from hearing the petitions, citing personal reasons.
The petitions, filed by the relatives of 11 youths who disappeared after being allegedly abducted in Colombo and its suburbs in 2008, challenge the Attorney General’s decision to withdraw charges against Karannagoda, who was the Navy Commander at the time.
When the petitions were taken up for consideration before a three-judge bench on Friday, Judges Nawaz and Fernando cited personal reasons for their recusal.
Accordingly, the petitions will be heard before a different bench on 15 September 2025. (Newswire)
