The Supreme Court today (13) extended the order instructing immigration authorities not to deport Frontline Socialists Party (FSP) central committee member Premakumar ‘Kumar’ Gunaratnam.

Speaking to 'Sri Lanka Mirror', FSP Politburo member - Pubudu Jagoda said that the Supreme Court had ordered not to deport Frontline Socialists Party (FSP) central committee member Premakumar ‘Kumar’ Gunaratnam, until February 19.

The judge-bench chaired by Chief Justice K. Sripavan issued the instructions to the Controller General of Immigration and Emigration when a petition filed by the FSP was taken up for hearing this morning.

The petition was filed seeking a court order against an attempt to arrest and deport Gunaratnam, terming it as ‘illegal’.

The case is to be taken up again on Feb. 18.
