The Supreme Court has dismissed a Fundamental Rights petition filed by Saman Ratnayake, a former Additional Secretary to the Ministry of Health, who claimed his arrest and remanding in custody by the CID was unlawful. Ratnayake sought a ruling that his fundamental rights had been violated. The court's decision brings an end to the high-profile case, which has been closely watched by the public and media. The case highlights the importance of upholding the rule of law and protecting individual rights in Sri Lanka. Key issues include human rights, judicial proceedings, and government accountability.
