Arjuna Mahendran noticed to appear in court over bond scam
Colombo, November 26 (Daily Mirror)- The Colombo Chief Magistrate's Court today issued a notice directing former Central Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendran to appear before the court on February 25, 2025.
Colombo Chief Magistrate Thilina Gamage issued this order in connection with an alleged corruption case filed by the Bribery Commission concerning the investigation into the 2015 Central Bank bond scam.
The Colombo Permanent Trial-at-Bar bench has already issued a warrant through Interpol for the arrest of former Central Bank Governor Arjuna Mahendran in connection with the Central Bank bond scam case.
However, he is currently evading courts by residing overseas.

Already on his way here! Don't forget he's best of friends with our ex, the law-abiding, constitutional-respecting, human rights-championing statesman.

People of your intellectual status believe that all Sri Lanka's problems can be solved by cursing the former President.

Present intellect president who shows no difference to his predecessor so far must try not to fall into that category.

It's a wonderful gift to have an ability to form an idea about others' intelligence level from a distance. I'm sure you'll have a great future as a telepathic psychologist, or an FBI profiler if you're into that kind of things.

Maybe not ALL problems can be solved that way but you have to admit it's immensely satisfying to do so. Personally I have had enough of windbag, royalist, english-speaking radala types who believe they DESERVE the top slot simply because of WHO they are, and not because of their character ! Anyway, he set himself up for this. Who in their right mind needs 16 cooks and 30 umbrellas anyway ? To say nothing of the other ridiculous demands made of the public purse !

Noticed is a legal document that provides notice to someone that a court action is pending and tells him or her when and where the court appearance is taking place. Since this is a new case,(not the Bond Scam case) this is the first step.

It is a legal notice - NOT noticed. Refer the meaning of the word noticed. It is a legal notice or notify.

Onlooker Tuesday, 26 November 2024 01:32 PM
This is an alleged corruption case (new) filed by the Bribery Commission and not Bond Scam already pending as a trial at bar - hence noticed.

GREED FOR MONEY AND POWER HAS NO BOUNDRIES Tuesday, 26 November 2024 05:49 PM
AS SOME HAVE STATED, HE HAS PROBABLY HAD PLASTIC SURGERY. INTERPOL CAN MONITOR HIS CLOSE FAMILY, FRIENDS AND STOOGES WILL TAKE TIME BUT COULD BE A GOOD OUTCOME EVENTUALLY. BANKS WOULD HAVE INFORMATION OF WHOME HIS MONEY WAS TRANSFERED TO ETC. HEAPS OF WAYS TO TRACK THESE TYPE OF CROOKS, IT HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL MANY A TIMES. HIS STOOGES WOULD HAVE KEPT HIM UPDATED ON SITU IN THE COUNTRY FROM WELL BEFORE THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS, WHICH WOULD HAVE HELPED HIM PLAN HIS MOVES.

More and more drama, chapter 2. We all know he won't be coming to Sri Lanka to face charges nor Singapore is going to extradite him. Why waste public funds for a lost cause. We as a Nation are 10-20 years behind because of this reason, our inability to move on. Fall in the politicians trap and lie over and over again. Face the fact, we are never going to see that money again, in fact, no one will be found guilty for the bond scam. Period! Move on people.

People don't understand that proper procedures have to be followed if criminals are to be punished, otherwise they will escape justice. Here the Court is issuing an order for him to appear before it. Off course he won't, they know that. It will probably be followed by a warrant for his arrest. And then an application for extradition from Singapore.

There is no case here as there is no real loss . The current government issued over 100 billions of bonds within 2 months while this famous scam is about increasing the bond issue from 1 billion to 10 billion at a time they needed 13 billion. The case was already dismissed and now they are playing ploticsk tricks. People talk about bond Scam without knowing what really happened .

Onlooker Tuesday, 26 November 2024 11:49 PM
The bond scam case is not over. The trial was initially delayed due to preliminary objections raised by the accused’s lawyers, which were eventually dismissed by the Court of Appeal. The case is now set to be taken up by the Supreme Court for arguments in January next year. Yes the raising of the bonds required initially 1 billion was raised to 13 billion during the bond sale favouring Aloysius who quoted for 10 billion but others only quoted for the advertised 1 billion. That was the fraud. Why would someone quote for 10 billion when the requirement was 1 billion.

Seriously? So, all this talk about a bond scam is just a lot of hot air blown by the media on political trickery while it is acceptable that the case be dismissed even without allowing Arjuna Mahendran to clear his good name in court, if that is so? Also, the present Govt is somehow linked to the financial crisis because of issuing new Govt bonds? Sounds like a page straight out of Sujeewa Samarasinghe's book and very hard to swallow.

EPF holders continue to suffer Wednesday, 27 November 2024 09:13 AM
Clearly you have no benefit to have or contributions made to EPF, for later taking out of the EPF. EPF was forced to buy at inflated prices, to the loss is to the EPF. You clearly don't know much, just dirty talk all of the time.

Kirihami, nice attempt at sarcastic humour. You seem to think that making am assessment of the intelligence level of a person requires examination at close quarters? An MRI, perhaps?

Kirihāmi Wednesday, 27 November 2024 07:54 AM
I didn't know MRI can be used for such purposes. Thanks for the info. But as there are many different types of 'intelligences' (at least 9 basic types), I do think it's nearly impossible to have an assessment of an individual's intelligence without following appropriate tests - you may have an assumption, but not an assessment.

The historic Bond Scam case has languished unresolved for far too long. Successive governments employed delay tactics to obstruct proper court proceedings, undermining justice. This serves as a crucial lesson for all future administrations: appointing an outsider to the prestigious position of Governor of the Central Bank, while sidelining highly qualified and deserving senior officers, is a grave mistake. The Yahapalanaya government’s actions in this matter were both a betrayal of trust and an egregious abuse of authority. The Bond Scam remains a permanent stain on the nation's record, an indelible mark of shame in Sri Lanka's history.

Focus on pressing issues People have spoken clearly. You have 5 years to bring him but no time to lose on Economy and issues like Ethnic, social, Youths matter. Please people from North to South ,East to west voted for NPP , and saw you as a Statesman not as a leader for NPP. Rise above party, ethnic lines and deliver what you have promised.

He will escape as he has some powerful lawyers advising him. The lawyers from the Marapana family who most of them are PC's have been helping the Mahendran family. It's a waste of state resources to even try and prosecute him.
