The Fort Magistrate’s Court yesterday issued a warrant for the arrest of Jaffna District MP Ramanathan Archchuna after he failed to appear before court in connection with a pending case. Court officials said the MP and his bail sureties were absent when the matter was taken up, prompting the Magistrate to issue the warrant. The case relates to an alleged incident in which Archchuna is accused of obstructing the duties of Fort Police officers while they were performing their duties. The matter was listed before the Colombo Magistrate’s Court yesterday as well, when the MP failed to appear before court and his bail guarantor was also absent. Following this, the Magistrate ordered that a warrant be issued against him. The case is to proceed with further legal action against the MP.
