Court issues summons on Colombo TRO officials

[TamilNet, Tuesday, 30 January 2007, 17:19 GMT]
The Colombo Chief Magistrate Tuesday ordered to issue summons on three key officials of the Colombo office of the Tamil Rehabilitation Organization (TRO) to appear in court on February 7. The court made this order when the case filed against the TRO by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka was taken up for further inquiry Tuesday, legal sources said.

The CID made an application to court that three officials of the TRO should be summoned to court on the next date for further inquiry.

Earlier, the Colombo Chief Magistrate, on an application by the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, issued enjoining order to seize the bank accounts of the TRO following allegations that the funds directed to TRO are diverted for purposes other than humanitarian assistance.
