The Colombo High Court today granted permission for Yoshitha Rajapakse to visit Japan and Australia for a period of two months,  starting May 31.

The order was issued after taking up a motion filed by Yoshitha Rajapakse before court today.

Overseas travel had been suspended for Yoshitha Rajapaksa on an earlier occasion with regard to a case being heard at the Kaduwela Magistrate’s Court over several charges, including the failure to reveal the source of income invested in launching CSN channel.

Issuing the order, High Court Judge A.A.R. Heyanthuduwa ordered the Department of Immigration and Emigration and the Director of the National Intelligence Bureau to be notified in this regard.
