Madras HC issues arrest warrant against TNSTC official

MADURAI: The Madurai bench of the Madras high court on Monday issued a bailable arrest warrant against former general manager of the Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC), Tirunelveli, since he had failed to appear before the court as directed by it.

In his interim order on the contempt petition filed by M Kalipandian of Sankarankoil, Justice S Nagamuthu directed the additional superintendent of police to arrest Dharmaraj, who was the former GM of TNSTC in Tirunelveli, and to produce him in the court on June 22.

Kalipandian had worked as a temporary employee with TNSTC, Tirunelveli, for more than two years. However, TNSTC didn't regularize his employment. This forced Kalipandian to move the high court.

The court passed an order in his favour last year. However, the TNSTC failed to act on the order. Hence he filed a contempt petition against the former GM.

When the matter came up for hearing in April, the court directed Dharmaraj to appear before it on June 1. However, he failed to turn up. This forced the court issue an arrest warrant against him
