CEJ decries piecemeal payments to derail broader claims being pursued
The Island
|September 24, 2025
In a significant development in the ongoing litigation over the environmental disaster caused by the X-Press Pearl vessel, Sea Consortium Lanka Ltd. has confirmed payment of Rs. 300 million to the Treasury.
An affidavit filed before the Supreme Court, in connection with Fundamental Rights case SCFR 168/21, states that the payment was made on September 22, 2025, through a pay order in favour of the Secretary to the Treasury. The affidavit was submitted by the company’s Chairman, Arjuna Indrajith, along with annexures detailing the transaction.
Centre for Environmental Justice (CEJ) Chairman Hemantha Withanage told The Island that while the payment is a step forward, it is only a fraction of the true cost of the disaster.

Pathum bats into greatness
India were the first team to book their ticket to the Asia Cup final and before the last Super Four clash, had barely broken sweat. Many reckoned that India's fire-breathing bowling attack was simply too hot for anyone to handle. That was until Pathum Nissanka walked in, took guard and silenced the hype with a knock that tugged at heartstrings and stamped him as a modern-day great in the making. Right now, you'd argue he’s the best all-format batter in world cricket.
