DIRECTOR GENERAL OF SPORTS DR. SHEMAL FERNANDO FACES CONTEMPT OF COURT CHARGES

Date:

May 10, Colombo (LNW): Director General of Sports Dr. Shemal Fernando, has been charged with contempt of court for failing to implement a court order related to the Sri Lanka Rugby (SLR) elections.

The Court of Appeal had previously issued a directive mandating the DG to conduct the SLR elections in accordance with the established legal framework. However, the DG’s non-compliance with this order has led to the initiation of contempt proceedings.

The case is scheduled to be heard on June 15, 2025, where the court will examine
the reasons behind the DG’s failure to adhere to its directive.

This development has sparked significant concern among sports enthusiasts and
legal experts, highlighting the importance of upholding the rule of law and ensuring that governmental authorities comply with judicial decisions.
