ACS, 5 Others Seek Cancellation Of Bailable Warrant

Indore (Madhya Pradesh): Five senior officials of the state government, including additional chief secretary Mohammad Suleman, have approached the Indore bench of Madhya Pradesh High Court seeking cancellation of a bailable warrant issued against them.

They have also requested exemption from personal appearance in connection with a contempt petition filed against them. The contempt petition arose after the officials failed to comply with a previous court order related to an employee's pay scale.

In April 2024, the High Court had directed the state government to grant the employee the benefit of a revised pay scale. However, the employee did not receive benefits, prompting him to file a contempt petition. Advocate Yashpal Rathore, representing the petitioner, stated that due to lack of representation from the government, the court issued a bailable warrant against the officials. The court summoned the officials to appear before it on September 11.
