Bailable Warrants Issued for Ex-Andhra University Registrars
The High Court in Andhra Pradesh has ordered the arrest of three former top administrators from Andhra University.
They didn't show up in court for a case about not following court orders from a few years ago.
The judge was not happy that they didn't come to court when asked, and so issued orders for them to be brought to court.
The current head of the university did come to court.
The case will be looked at again next week.
Andhra Pradesh High Court issued bailable warrants for three former Andhra University registrars.
The warrants were issued due to the former registrars' failure to appear in a contempt case.
The case stems from non-compliance with previous court directives from 2017.
The current AU registrar appeared in court, while the former registrars did not.
The case is scheduled for another hearing on August 21.
