FR petitions filed calling for an investigation into financial mismanagement and the current economic crisis in the country and appropriate legal action against them.
The Supreme Court also ordered the Auditor General to submit a report on failure to maintain the Sri Lankan Rupee at 203 against the US Dollar and the failure to duly seek the assistance of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
