Handungoda is further restrained by the District Court.

The Colombo District Court today further extended its enjoining order against YouTuber Dharshana Handungoda, preventing him from further circulating defamatory videos against two officials of the Attorney General’s Department.

Colombo Chief District Court Judge Purnima Paranagama made this order pursuant to two lawsuits filed by Additional Solicitor General Vikum de Abrew and Senior State Counsel Nayomi Kahavita. This enjoining order will be effective until May 24.

The plaintiffs, two officers attached to the Attorney General’s Department, instituted action in the District Court of Colombo against defendant Dharshana Hadungoda for allegedly defaming the plaintiffs by commenting on their professional conduct in relation to the institution of action in Singapore to recover damages relating to the X-Press Pearl incident.
