Gayani,

Presuming that the projection method is Transverse Mercator you could use
a PROJECTION block like:

PROJECTION
   "+proj=tmerc +lon_0=80.771713 +k=0.999924 +lat_0=7.000472 +x_0=200000 
+y_0=20000 +units=m +a=6377276.3449999997 +b=6356075.4131402401"
END

I am not familiar with your coordinate system but a simplistic attempt to look
it up in the EPSG coordinate system failed.  So it might be hard to deploy
a WMS based on it since that depends on knowing an EPSG code.

Best regards,
