The Colombo High Court Magistrate has today (18th) ordered to release Sri Lanka's former Army Commander General Sarath Fonseka on conditional bail in the case of harboring Army Deserters during his Presidential Election Campaign in 2010.The bail was granted after considering the bail petition submitted to the courts by General Fonseka.President Mahinda Rajapaksha too had agreed to release former army commander upon request made by DNA MP Tiran Alles.However the High Court has upheld General Fonseka's Foreign Tours and his passport too taken in to court custody.Meanwhile it has been reported that General Fonseka will be released either during tomorrow's Victory Day Celebrations or on Sunday.
