Overseas travel ban imposed to Patali Champika Ranawaka temporarily lifted

Date:

The overseas travel ban imposed to MP Patali Champika Ranawaka in connection with the lawsuit involving a road accident in Rajagiriya in 2016 was temporarily lifted by the Colombo High Court today (10), as the case was taken up before High Court Judge Damith Thotawatte.

The lawyer appearing for Ranawaka requested the Court to suspend the overseas travel ban imposed to his client until the next trial date given that he is currently entrusted with a number of government affiliated duties.

The request did not meet any objection from the Deputy Solicitor General who appeared for the AG’s Office, and accordingly, the overseas travel ban imposed to Ranawaka was lifted till March 17, 2023. The Court also ordered that the former Minister’s passport be released if it is in the custody of the Court and the trial be called in again on March 20, 2023.
