The order was made yesterday (28) after courts took up a Writ petition filed by Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna MP - Vijitha Herath.
Pathmanathan is alleged of procuring weapons worth billions of dollars for the LTTE and was in Sri Lanka under the protective custody provided by the previous regime after his arrest in August 2009 in Malaysia.
The Court of Appeal earlier directed the Attorney General to conduct an examination on the 193 allegations in the petition which include money laundering and procurement of arms.
The petition states that Pathmanathan was the leader of the Tigers' international wing and that he engaged in arms dealing in Asia, Canada, the United States of America and Europe while finding funds for purposes of establishing a separate State for Tamils in Sri Lanka.
On 31 August, Attorney General's Department informed the Court of Appeal that no evidence of crimes involving the former LTTE leader have been found during their examination.
The Court in February issued an order barring Mr. Pathmanathan from traveling overseas.
