Former CSN CEO Nishantha Ranatunga today made a request to Colombo High Court for the temporary lifting of his travel ban imposed over the CSN case.

Through a motion, he informed court that he has to leave for the UAE for a conference from September 30 to October 2 and his passport was required for obtaining visa.

The High Court reserved the order on the request for tomorrow.

Ranatunga was arrested with four others on January 30 on alleged money laundering at CSN. The other four suspects, including Yoshitha Rajapaksa, were released on bail on March 14. Ranatunga filed a separate bail application and was released on March 16.
