The travel ban imposed on former central bank governor Ajith Nivard Cabral has been extended till December 15.

That is according to an order made by the Colombo Magistrate Court.

The personal complaint filed by former Southern Province Governor Mr. Keerthi Thennakone alleging that he misused public funds while serving as the Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka between 2006 and 2015 was heard before the Colombo Magistrate’s Court today (24).

At that time, the lawyers representing Mr. Ajith Nivard Cabral raised initial objections stating that this case cannot be maintained.

The Colombo Additional Magistrate has ordered that the written speeches related to the initial objections be presented on December 15.
