When the application was taken up for consideration yesterday (23), Gotabaya Rajapaksa appeared in court alone, with no members of the Rajapaksa family present to support him. Notably, Namal Rajapaksa was seen attending only under the guise of wearing his lawyer\u2019s attire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, various recent surveys reveal that public trust and confidence in the ongoing judicial process currently remain at an all-time high.<\/p>\n<div class='saic-wrapper saic-default saic-border' style='overflow: hidden;'><div
