ප්‍රමිතියෙන් තොර ඖෂධ ආනයන නඩුවට අදාලව නියමිත වන්දි නොගෙවීම නිසා කෙහෙළිය ඇතුළු සිව්දෙනෙකුට විදෙස් ගමන් තහනමක් – බැඳුම්කර මත මුදාහැරීමට ශ්‍රේෂ්ඨාධිකරණයෙන් නියෝග

Daily Mirror reports that the Supreme Court restricted travel abroad for former Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella and four others in contempt proceedings brought by Transparency International Sri Lanka (TISL). Newswire, WhatNews (සිංහල) and Hiru News (සිංහල) describe four respondents in total as subject to the travel restriction, while Sri Lanka Mirror says it affects five.

Newswire reports that a three-member Supreme Court bench, led by Chief Justice Preethi Padman Surasena, issued the order after considering TISL’s motion. Sri Lanka Mirror also identifies the presiding judge and describes the panel as a Supreme Court Trial-at-Bar bench. Newswire and Sri Lanka Mirror say TISL alleged that the respondents had not followed an earlier direction to pay compensation.

Newswire and Sri Lanka Mirror report that the earlier compensation order followed a March 2026 Supreme Court ruling that fundamental rights were violated in connection with substandard medicines imported during the previous government. Both outlets say five respondents, including Rambukwella, were ordered to pay compensation. Newswire reports that his lawyer told the court he had paid Rs. 20 million toward a Rs. 75 million award.

Newswire and Sri Lanka Mirror report that the court ordered the respondents’ release on bonds and barred them from travelling overseas. WhatNews (සිංහල) and Hiru News (සිංහල) also report release on bonds. The reports provide no further details about bond conditions or a subsequent hearing.
