The Court of Appeal has postponed to July 10 the consideration of further submissions in a writ petition filed by former State Intelligence Service (SIS) Director Suresh Sallay, who is seeking to invalidate a detention order issued under the Prevention of Terrorism Act (PTA) following his arrest by the Criminal Investigation Department (CID).

The petition was taken up before a bench comprising Justices Rohantha Abeysooriya and Priyantha Fernando.

During the proceedings, President’s Counsel Sanjeewa Jayawardena, appearing for Sallay, made detailed submissions to court, including references to the ideological influence of the ISIS terrorist organisation and its alleged operational presence within Sri Lanka.

After considering the submissions, the Court of Appeal directed that the case be recalled on July 10 for further arguments.
