Tokyo Cement Company Plc has won an interim order against the commissioning of the packing plant of the Holcim Lanka Group at the Trincomalee port.
The development follows after Court of Appeal yesterday granted an interim order pending the determination and hearing of the writ application filed by Tokyo Cement against the Sri Lanka Ports Authority and others.
Holcim Lanka’s subsidiary Trinco Cement Works was to commission a new terminal packing plant at the Trincomalee Port on Sunday with an investment of $ 45 million. Investment Promotions Minister Lakshman Yapa was to be the Chief Guest. The interim order restrains Holcim Lanka from conducting any commercial enterprise relating to packing and or grinding of cement and/or clinker in the Port of Trincomalee.
Arjuna Obeysekera, Deputy Solicitor General of Attorney General’s Department, appeared for the Sri Lanka Ports Authority and the Secretary to the Ministry of Ports and Highway, whilst Counsel S.A. Parthalingam, H.K. Seneviratne and C. Jayasundera Neelakandan and Neelakandan appeared for Tokyo Cement.
