The Colombo High Court today dismissed the petition filed by former defense secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa asking that he and the seven others be discharged from the Avant Garde Case.

The Bribery Commission (BC) had filed 19 charges against Mr. Rajapaksa and seven others for causing a Rs.11.4 billion loss to the government by permitting Avant Garde Maritime Services (Pvt) Limited to operate a floating armoury.
