The Colombo Magistrate’s Court today rejected a private complaint filed against former Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka (CBSL) Ajith Nivard Cabraal.
The private complaint had been filed against Cabraal over the alleged misappropriation of government funds.
The court rejected the private complaint after taking into consideration the preliminary objection filed by Cabraal’s lawyer.
Issuing the verdict, the court said the complainant had failed to provide sufficient evidence against the accused and therefore is rejecting the complaint.
The private complaint was filed by former Governor of the Southern and Central Provinces, Rajith Keerthi Thennakoon accusing Ajith Nivard Cabraal of allegedly misusing state funds during his tenure as the Governor of the Central Bank of Sri Lanka from 2006 to 2015. (NewsWire)
