Upon her retirement, President Chandrika Kumaranatunga, got the approval of the Cabinet of Ministers to vest a valuable piece of state owned land in her name. Victor Ivan filed a case against her on this corrupt transaction (C.A. (Writ) No. 2074/2005). The court ruled out that the land in dispute be revested in the state. Victor Ivan wrote a book titled "Chaurya Rajina" in sinhala about Chandrika Kumaranatunga and the period of her rule. The English translation of it was published under the title "The Queen of Deceit". The book created an enviable sales record in Sri Lanka. More than 50,000 copies of it were sold in a very short time.
