A three-judge bench of the Colombo High Court today (18) acquitted former Defense Secretary Hemasiri Fernando of the charges against him.
He has been charged with a number of offenses, including failing to take action to prevent a terrorist attack on Easter Sunday, despite receiving intelligence.
The ink was given today (18) by a three-judge bench comprising Namal Balalle, Aditya Patabendige and Mohamed Irshadin.
