(Lanka-e-News-15.Dec.2013, 11.30PM) On November 30 th Lanka e news reported that Sirasa chief Kili Maharaja was moving heaven and earth to get the case file against him in the magistrate court , Matara by a former Minister and present M.P. Mangala Samaraweera , and that Kili Maharaja had made a plea to somehow even arrange a bribe to the judge and save him (Maharaja) from appearing in court . Today , when the case was called up in the Matara court , magistrate Manjula Thilakaratne confirmed that Kili Maharaja has indeed succeeded in his sordid bribery effort , when Thilakaratne dismissed the petition on the ground that it is impossible to conclude beyond any doubt that Kili Maharaja is the chief of ‘Sirasa’ media chain.
