For the first time in Sri Lanka's history, Harsha Ilukpitiya, an officer of the Sri Lanka Administrative Service, was yesterday sentenced to two years' imprisonment by the Supreme Court for committing the offence of contempt of court. The charges arose from his failure to comply with a Supreme Court order while serving as the former Controller General of Immigration and Emigration.

Ilukpitiya was convicted on contempt of court charges connected to the controversial visa deal. On September 25, 2024, the Supreme Court had ordered him to be remanded until the conclusion of the contempt proceedings for failing to implement its directive regarding the matter.
