Jeyakumary went on March 14 to the children’s home to take charge of her daughter, but probationary officers said she would be handed over only after the mother furnished documentation to prove her identity.
Lawyers for Jeyakumary said they would file a motion in the Kilinochchi court, seeking the girl’s custodianship for her mother.
Following her arrest, TID officers seized her documents, including the identity card, which were not returned to her upon her release.
Since she could not go to Kilinochchi via Omanthai checkpoint without the documents, she filed a request through her lawyers at the Colombo magistrate’s court on March 12, and the documents were returned to her.
Jeyakumary has been released on bail and ordered to report to the police station of her area of residence on the last Sunday of every month.
The case against her will be taken up again on July 07.
