Sri Lanka, Oct. 8 -- The Colombo Magistrate's Court has scheduled the order regarding the anticipatory bail application filed by former Minister Manusha Nanayakkara for October 14.

Colombo Chief Magistrate Asanka S. Bodaragama issued the order after considering the submissions on Nanayakkara's request to be released on anticipatory bail before any potential arrest by the Bribery Commission.

Nanayakkara filed the petition requesting anticipatory bail in relation to an ongoing investigation by the Bribery Commission (CIABOC) concerning an alleged irregularity in the deployment of workers to Israel for agricultural jobs during the tenure of the previous government.
