Damburana Liyanage Rashmi Kaveesha v. Hon. Attorney General and Officer in Charge – CA PHC APN 12/2021-2021

In the case between Damburana Liyanage Rashmi Kaveesha (on behalf of Damburana Liyanage Saman Nandika) and the Hon. Attorney General and Officer in Charge, Police Narcotic Bureau, the court considered a revision application under Article 138 of the Constitution of Sri Lanka. The matter centered on the petitioner’s request to withdraw the revision application related to ongoing proceedings in the Magistrate Court of Kesbewa (case no. B 1934/2019). It was determined that leave was granted to withdraw the revision, and the application was permitted to be withdrawn. The decision reinforced procedural jurisprudence allowing withdrawal of applications at the petitioner’s discretion, with no bar imposed by existing court orders or legal norms.
