Dec 17, Colombo: The former military chief and main opposition candidate General Sarath Fonseka will vacate the official residence of the Army Commander by the 21st of this month.

When the Supreme Court heard a petition filed by an attorney asking General Fonseka to vacate his military residence which is in a high security zone since he has engaged in politics, lawyers appearing on behalf of the General agreed to vacate the residence by December 21st.

Upali Premalal Jayamanne, an Attorney-at-Law petitioned the Supreme Court that General Sarath Fonseka, who has retired from service, should vacate the official residence of the Army Commander to make it available to the present Army commander.

The Supreme Court will take up the issue on the 11th of January to ascertain whether General Fonseka had vacated the official Army Commander's residence by that time.
