What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Commercial High Court of Colombo upheld an interim order preventing five Directors of Hela Clothing Ltd. from traveling overseas. This decision was made during winding-up proceedings initiated after Commercial Bank of Ceylon PLC accused the Directors of diverting export proceeds owed to the bank. The court found the restriction justified and within its powers, though it varied the order to allow travel with prior permission.
