His lawyers have appealed against this ruling  in the Court of Appeal.Fonseka’s wife Anoma said that legal experts had said that as the Court  of Appeal had not yet given its verdict regarding the ruling of the High  Court and, therefore, Mr. Fonseka’s position would be that of an  ordinary remand prisoner from tomorrow.Mrs. Fonseka said her husband’s lawyers had advised her that it would be possible to apply for bail after Thursday.Mr. Fonseka was acquitted in the Hi-Corp case by the high court on March 16 this year.Mr. Fonseka will complete his first jail term on April 26 though he has  not served 30 months as he has got time off for good behaviour.DM</blockquote>
