Thiniyawala Palitha

Thiniyawala Palitha is a Sri Lankan monk who has recently been in the news for filing a fundamental rights petition against former Central Bank Governor Ajith Nivard Cabraal and others, alleging violations of human rights during the previous administration of President Mahinda Rajapaksa. The Supreme Court has rejected this petition, which aimed to address the alleged misuse of public funds amounting to 6.5 million rupees paid to an American national.
