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

Date:

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.
