The Court of Appeal has rejected a bail request for Randev Dinendra John, a director of W.M. Mendis Company, who is serving a six-month prison sentence.
The appeal was reviewed by Justices Sobhitha Rajakaruna and Mahen Gopallawa.
John was sentenced by the Colombo Magistrate's Court for failing to pay Rs. 3.5 billion in Value Added Tax. The Court of Appeal denied his bail request and has set the next hearing for November 29 to review further details of the case.
