Court again extends travel ban on former Guv of Central Bank

For the second time, a local court here on Monday extended the travel ban on Ajith Nivard Cabraal, former governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, from travelling abroad as mounting economic woes roil the island nation. The Colombo Magistrate’s Court has extended the travel ban until July 25. On April 7, the court barred Cabraal from travelling out. The travel ban was again extended on April 18. Cabraal has been named as a suspect in a personal complaint filed alleging misappropriation of funds. Former Governor of the Southern Province Rajith Keerthi Tennakoon had lodged this personal complaint. The complaint was taken up before Colombo Additional Magistrate Harshana Kekunawala. Cabraal was not present in court when the complaint was called and President’s Counsel appeared for him. The lawyer informed that his client has been summoned and he would appear the next day.
