Overseas travel ban on Champika temporarily lifted

The overseas travel ban imposed on former Minister Patali Champika Ranawaka has been temporarily lifted.

The Colombo High Court suspended the overseas travel ban imposed on Ranawaka over a road accident, until March 17, 2023.

Last month the trial against MP Patali Champika Ranawaka over the accident in Rajagiriya was suspended by the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court issued a stay order suspending the High Court trial against the MP over the 2016 accident until 15th March 2023.

The Court had in 2020 served indictments on Ranawaka, his driver Thusitha Kumara and former Officer-in-Charge (OIC) of the Welikada Police ASP Sudath Asmadala.

Ranawaka’s Jeep was involved in an accident in Rajagiriya in 2016, critically injuring a motorcyclist.

Then Attorney General (AG) Dappula de Livera had filed indictments in the Colombo High Court against Ranawaka for causing grievous injury and rash negligent acts, among other charges. (Colombo Gazette)
