The Colombo High Court will today announce its decision on granting bail to former Minister Tissa Attanayake, who is in remand custody over the preparation of a forged document.

His bail plea was heard yesterday at the High Court.

Attanayake's lawyers pushed for bail on the grounds that he is suffering from diabetes for a long time.

They also argued that the Government Analysts's report did not suggest the signatures were forged.

The Attorney General rejected these claims and argued against granting bail.
