SC lifts overseas travel bans imposed on Mahinda and Basil

 

The Supreme Court Wednesday (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overseas travel bans imposed on former President Mahinda Rajapaksa and former Minister of Finance Basil Rajapaksa are no longer in effect.

Thereby, the President’s Counsel also requested the court to issue an order notifying the Immigration and Emigration Controller in this regard.

The Supreme Court, which accepted the request, ordered the Registrar of the Supreme Court to notify the Immigration and Emigration Controller that the relevant foreign travel ban is not in further effect.
