The Court of Appeal has intervened in the case involving model Piyumi Hansamali by issuing an injunction that temporarily prevents her arrest. This legal action stems from a petition Hansamali submitted, which seeks to halt the ongoing investigation against her by the Illegal Assets Investigation Division of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID). The investigation reportedly centers on allegations related to the possession or acquisition of assets through illicit means.
Hansamali's legal team argued for the suspension of the investigation, claiming procedural irregularities and questioning the legality of the actions taken by the CID. The court has scheduled a recall of the petition for September 20, during which further arguments and evidence will be reviewed to determine the future course of the investigation.
This case has attracted significant media attention, partly due to Hansamali's prominence as a model and public figure. It also highlights the broader issues of legal procedures and rights concerning investigations of potentially illegally acquired assets. The decision to issue an injunction reflects the court's responsibility to ensure that the investigation process adheres strictly to legal standards, protecting the rights of individuals from undue harm during legal proceedings.
As the situation develops, further details about the nature of the allegations and the specifics of the legal arguments presented by Hansamali's defense will likely emerge, offering more clarity on the complexities of this high-profile case.
