The writ petition filed by Pastor Jerome Fernando seeking an order preventing the police from arresting him in connection with the controversial Sunday sermon was postponed for October 4 by the Court of Appeal.
This petition was called today (22) before the bench of Judges Nishanka Bandula Karunaratne and Chamath Morayas.
The CID has already commenced investigations against Pastor Jerome for insulting other religions and for the alleged commission of offenses under Section 291B of the Penal Code and Section 3 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) Act of 56 of 2007.
