Police instructed to prevent leasing companies from seizing three-wheelers

12 Jun 2020

President Gotabaya Rajapaksa has instructed the Police to prevent leasing companies from seizing three-wheelers under the government's relief scheme. He said the leasing companies must follow the 116/2020 circular issued on 23rd March announcing that charging of installments from three-wheeler owners should be suspended for 6 months. Rajapaksa pointed out that the process of forcefully seizing vehicles of payment defaulters was illegal. He said currently leasing companies forcefully seize vehicles of payment defaulters and then lodge a complaint to the Police. He said Police are not informed before the seizure. Hence the President instructed the Police not to accept complaints lodged following seizure of vehicles until further notice.
