The parents of the 20-day-old infant who was cremated against their wishes filed a Fundamental Rights application before the Supreme Court through their Attorney Sanjeewa Kaluarachchi yesterday.
The parents detailing their ordeal said in the petition that authorities at the Lady Ridgeway Hospital had cremated the body of the infant in an undue hurry. They state that they pleaded from the hospital authorities to permit a second PCR test on the child after his death, but were denied.
The petition states that the child was in good health after his birth on 18 November and had no contact with any outside persons as the area they live in was under lockdown.
