The Court today (18) denied a request to impose a travel ban on former Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa and former Finance Secretary S.R. Attygalle.

Keerthi Thennakoon, a provincial governor of the previous government, had made this request to the Court and Maithri Gunaratne, another former provincial governor of the previous government, appeared in Court on his behalf.
