Wimal ordered to pay Tilvin Rs. 10 million
MP Wimal Weerawansa has been ordered by the Colombo Commercial High Court to pay Rs 10 million in compensation to JVP General Secretary Tilvin Silva.

The case was filed against MP Weerawansa calling for him to pay the aggrieved Rs.10 million in damages.
Delivering its verdict, the Colombo Commercial High Court stated that the true rights of the book ‘Naththa Wenuwata Aththa’ should be granted to Tilvin Silva and not Wimal Weerawansa.
