A panel comprising Eva Wanasundara, Anil Gunaratne and Buwaneka Aluvihare gave the order yesterday (29) after considering a petition filed over the non-enforcement of the law pertaining to an incident in 2010-11 in which a youth was knifed to death.

The Moratuwa and Moratumulla police have been evading legal proceedings for more than four year, citing that they were seeking the attorney general’s advice.

The next hearing of the petition has been fixed for March 08.
