The Colombo High Court yesterday ordered to acquit and release popular tele drama producer and business personality Sudharma Nethicumara from an indictment filed by the Attorney General.
High Court Judge Amal Ranaraja made this order pursuant to a request made by defence to acquit her from the charges, on the basis that the prosecution evidence has failed to establish the commission of the offences against accused in the indictment. The AG had filed indictments against Sudharma Nethicumara for allegedly cheating an individual named Samantha Dilruksha to the tune of Rs.5.5 million after misleading him that he would be able to reap greater financial benefits.
