Here’s a clear, edited version of your news story in a more polished news-reporting style:

**Attorney-at-Law Gunaratne Wanninayake Granted Bail**

Attorney-at-Law Gunaratne Wanninayake has been granted bail by the Mount Lavinia Magistrate’s Court.

He was released on two surety bails of Rs. 500,000 each, after appearing before the Magistrate’s Court earlier today, accompanied by the President of the Bar Association of Sri Lanka (BASL), Attorney-at-Law Rajeev Amarasuriya.

Earlier in the day, President’s Counsel Faisz Musthapha, appearing on behalf of Wanninayake, informed the Court of Appeal that his client was prepared to present himself before the Mount Lavinia Magistrate’s Court in connection with the recent incident that took place at the court premises.

When considering a writ petition filed by Wanninayake seeking to prevent his arrest, Justice Rohantha Abeysuriya, President of the Court of Appeal, noted that the court could not grant the interim relief requested. He further observed that it would be appropriate for the petitioner to surrender to the Magistrate’s Court and resolve the matter there.

The Appeals Court bench subsequently ordered the petition to be recalled tomorrow (16) at 1.30 p.m. to review the progress of the case.
