Colombo High Court upholds dismissal of appeal on case against ex CB Governor Cabraal, ex President’s Secretary Weeratunga

Date:

June 27, Colombo (LNW): The High Court in Colombo has affirmed the decision to dismiss an appeal lodged by Ven. Thiniyawela Palitha Thera concerning a complaint against former Central Bank Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal and former President’s Secretary Lalith Weeratunge.

The appeal was in relation to the government’s payment of US$ 6.5 million to a US Lobby Firm back in 2014.

The Fort Magistrate’s Court had previously dismissed the complaint, prompting Palitha Thera to appeal this decision.

However, the High Court’s recent ruling upholds the lower court’s dismissal, thereby maintaining the status quo on the case.

The case revolves around allegations regarding the payment made to a US Lobby Firm during the tenure of the former government.
