A three-judge bench of the Supreme Court of Sri Lanka has rejected a request by former Inspector General of Police (IGP) Pujith Jayasundara to review his conviction. The decision was delivered on April 25, 2026, by a panel comprising Justices S. Thurairaja, A.H.M.D. Nawaz, and Shiran Gunaratne.
Jayasundara was convicted in 2023 for his role in the 2019 Easter Sunday bombings, which killed over 250 people. The court found him guilty of failing to act on intelligence warnings prior to the attacks. He was sentenced to four years in prison and fined 100,000 Sri Lankan rupees.
The former police chief's legal team argued that the conviction was flawed and sought a review. However, the Supreme Court bench determined that there were no grounds to reconsider the case. The ruling is final and cannot be appealed further.
