S. U. B. Karalliyadde, J.
This Order pertains to the issuance of formal notices of this Writ Application on the Respondents. The Petitioner has obtained a leasing facility from the Seylan Bank PLC, and he had made a complaint to the Central Bank of Sri Lanka, the 1st Respondent, in the year 2022 regarding a commission charged for his leasing facility being paid to a third party by the Seylan Bank PLC. The position of the Petitioner is that the Seylan Bank PLC had fraudulently added an additional interest at the rate of 1% to the interest rate agreed upon for the leasing facility without his consent. By producing a letter dated 13.05.2022 marked as P1, the Petitioner argues that the 1st Respondent had issued a ruling on the Seylan Bank PLC to refund the amount charged at the added rate of 1% to be paid back to the Petitioner and stop charging it thereafter. The Petitioner states that he has obtained information through the Right to Information Act, and came to know that the Seylan Bank PLC has agreed to implement the ruling said to have been issued against it by the 1st Respondent on 13.05.2022, marked as P1. Under such circumstances, the Petitioner has invoked the writ jurisdiction
