By Colombo Telegraph<\/a><\/span> –<\/strong><\/p>\n

“The Commission to Investigate Bribery or Corruption has started an inquiry into the assets acquired by Chief Justice Shirani Bandaranayake whilst a foreign travel ban has been imposed at its request on her husband Pradeepa Kariyawasam, who was the former Chairman of the National Savings Bank (NSB).” The Sunday Times\u00a0reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\u201cWe have received a complaint against the Chief Justice<\/a><\/span> about accumulation of assets. We are investigating the complaint. It has been sent under a name and therefore like any other complaint we receive we are investigating the allegations,\u201d Commission Chairman Jagath Balapatabendi<\/a><\/span> told the Sunday Times. He declined to name the complainant or elaborate.<\/p>\n

According to the newspaper, a Commission official said she would be issued a \u201cshow cause notice\u201d and further inquiries would proceed only thereafter.\u00a0One of the charges is \u201cnot declaring in the annual declaration of assets and liabilities that should be submitted by a judicial officer the details of more than twenty bank accounts maintained in various banks including nine accounts\u201d in the National Development Bank (NDB<\/a><\/span>), The Sunday Times said.<\/p>\n
