The Colombo High Court yesterday (07) ordered the temporary lifting of the foreign travel ban imposed against former Member of Parliament Sajin Vas Gunawardena, who was a controversial figure during the last Mahinda Rajapaksa regime.
A case filed against him under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act was called yesterday through a motion, where his lawyer informed the court that between July 08-25, his client wants to go to India for a business purpose, so that permission should be granted.
Accordingly, Colombo High Court Judge Damith Totawatta granted the relevant permission and ordered the case to be called again on July 26.
