Sri Lanka, Sept. 12 -- The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has informed the Court of Appeal that a decision to arrest former Minister Udaya Gammanpila has not been made at this time.

The CID's statement was made today (12) when a writ application filed by Gammanpila was taken up for hearing.

In his petition, he sought an order to prevent his arrest under the United Nations Convention on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) Act.

The hearing has been postponed until October 17.
