The District Court of Colombo today issued an enjoining order against a Newspaper preventing it from publishing defamatory articles against Sri Lankan cricketer Kusal Mendis.
Mendis has filed a petition seeking damages of Rs. 600 million for defamation and an injunction to restrain defamatory publications.
Mendis submitted to Court that the Defendants had published several defamatory articles specifically on 26th March 2021 and 16th April 2021 against him referring to matters of the motor traffic accident which he had been involved in.
Kusal Mendis should sue Rex Clementine directly. Most of Rex’s stories are made up gossip.
Not sure what is going on with this guy and why he is coping the lot but he is a real talent and we need to let him get on with the game. Looking forward to the day he makes it back to the test team – think he can be a real star but there seems to be a real nasty attitude towards this bloke from all and sundry. Real shame as we don’t have a lot of talent and he could be a real one.
