A high-ranking politician is planning to flee the country and is seeking a ban from the court.

A petition has been filed in the Supreme Court requesting a travel ban on a group of officials, including a high-ranking officer from the Excise Department, due to information that they are preparing to travel abroad.

The petitioner, a resident of the Nittambuwa area, states that this group has disrespected the court by acting contrary to its order not to issue new liquor licenses.

Therefore, the petitioner requests that an investigation be conducted against them and that penalties be imposed.
