Hyderabad,July 30: The AP High Court on Friday issued a bailable warrant against Mr A.K. Goel, joint secretary of the Union home ministry, (freedom fighters section) for not implementing the order of the court and not appearing in person though notices were served.

Justice Nooty Ramamohana Rao was dealing with a contempt case filed by Mr K. Rami Reddy and four others, challenging the action of the authorities in suspending the pension given to them. The authorities had contended that inquiry was pending against the petitioners and so their pension was stopped in 2000. The petitioners submitted their representation to the ministry to reconsider their cases as there was no inquiry pending against them. They filed a contempt case after the authorities failed in considering the court orders within three months.
