The Colombo High Court has said that it would decide on December 16 whether the video footage handed in by Derana TV on Fonseka's speech made in Ratnapura during the Presidential election campaign could be accepted as evidence in the case against him known as the "white flag" case.
The respective video footage is believed to have evidence required in the controversial case against Fonseka that is currently being heard in the Colombo High Court.
The Colombo High Court ordered Derana TV to present the original footage of the speech, but the station had informed court that the original footage was not available.
The defence counsel Nalin Ladduwahetti earlier has objected to considering the edited video footage as evidence without the original footage. The prosecution has however said there were legal provisions to include such videos.
The Judge has asked the Defence Council to submit the objections in-writing and postponed the hearing until December 16.
