Duminda Silva, who is currently on death row over the murder of former Parliamentarian Bharatha Lakshman Premachandra, had been ordered to be produced in court following a report provided by a panel of doctors of the Colombo National Hospital.

The panel of consultants in their report stated that there was no obstacle to produce the suspect before court.

Thus, Colombo Additional Magistrate Ranga Dissanayake directed the Prisons Department to produce Silva before Court.

The suspect was not produced before court by the Prisons officers earlier for the ongoing three bribery cases over the charges of not declaring his assets and liabilities for three years.

The Bribery Commission had filed three separate cases against former Parliamentarian under the Assets and Liabilities Act for not declaring his assets in 2010, 2011 and 2013.

Earlier the court directed the Prisons Department to produce suspect Duminda Silva before Colombo National Hospital to examine his health condition under a special panel of doctors as to confirm suspect's inability of appearing before court due to his illness.

Meanwhile, Duminda Silva was admitted to the Colombo National Hospital due to a sudden illness, today early morning.
