On 26 October 2026, the Supreme Court ordered Rambukwella and other respondents released on bond in the contempt proceedings brought by Transparency International Sri Lanka. The Court also imposed a foreign travel ban over alleged failure to pay the full compensation ordered in connection with the substandard medicines matter.
What changed?
The Court has now ordered release on bond and imposed a travel ban in the pending proceeding. This is not a finding of guilt.
