Transparency International Sri Lanka (TISL) has filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking legal action against former Health Minister Keheliya Rambukwella and several others for alleged contempt of court. The court had ordered Rambukwella to pay Rs. 75 million, while Janaka Chandragupta, Prof. S.D. Jayaratne, and Dr. Vijith Gunasekara were each ordered to pay Rs.

TISL claims that the respondents have not complied with the Supreme Court's judgment, thus committing contempt of court, and is requesting the Court to take appropriate legal action under the Contempt of a Court, Tribunal or Institution Act, No. 8 of 2024, and Article 105(3) of the Constitution.
