The Supreme Court today (March 22) ordered the Immigration and Emigration Controller that the overseas travel bans imposed on former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and former Minister of Finance Basil Rajapaksa are no longer in effect.
A five-member Supreme Court judge bench chaired by Chief Justice Jayantha Jayasuriya issued this order when the petitions filed seeking investigations regarding the individuals responsible for the current economic crisis, in which a group including former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and former Finance Minister Basil Rajapaksa have been named as respondents, were taken up this morning.
