High Court Approves Indictments Against Former Minister Rambukwella and Family

Date:

November 17, Colombo (LNW): The Colombo High Court has formally accepted charges against former Minister Keheliya Rambukwella, along with his son Ramith, daughter Amali, and their domestic assistant Nipuni Krishnajina, in connection with two separate investigations launched by the Bribery Commission.

The indictments were presented before High Court Judge Mohamed Mihal, after which all four defendants were released on bail. Pre-trial hearings for the two cases have been scheduled for January 12 and 14, 2026.

In addition, further charges were brought against Keheliya Rambukwella and his son Ramith in a third case, for which they were also granted bail. The pre-trial conference for this matter is set to take place on January 20, 2026.

The proceedings stem from allegations that the former minister acquired property and other assets unlawfully during his time in office, prompting the Bribery Commission to take legal action.
