Wimal was absent in courts because of an infection. MP Wimal Weeravansha's drama of having tasted a glass of milk created news across the media for about two weeks in the recent past after having entered into a fast with children following suit by getting admitted to hospital and the verdict in that connection was directed by Colombo Magistrate's Court when his application for
bail was once again dismissed by Judge Lanka Jayaratna. 

What was stated in Wimal's application for bail yesterday was that his being subjected to such an ailing condition has an impact on his daughter's examination work and that her health too is suffering because of him being imprisoned and for that reason in order to provide her the necessary mental consolation it is deemed that he should remain at his home. 

Whatever it is, since medical reports accompanying the bail application were not sufficient enough to confirm such data, the bail application was rejected. In any case the Judge ordered that a fresh bail application be submitted in another 4 days, on the 7th. Mr. Wimal Weeravansha who presently is at the National Hospital was not present yesterday for the case and only his attorneys-at-law were present instead. What Deputy Director of National Hospital Dr. Cyril de Silva said was that Wimal was suffering from a serious condition of fever. Doctors at the National Hospital rejected the request made by Prisons Department to direct the parliamentarian once again to Prison Hospital because he has once more started on solid foods after finishing his fast specifically as a result of his fever condition becoming aggravated. In this instance the doctor has remarked that an infection has found its way through the spot where the canula was inserted in the patient's body and that the cause for his fever was not an infection which had gained entrance to his lungs as such.
