Overview
- Justice Manish Kumar issued the warrant after District Magistrate Jasjit Kaur failed to appear in a contempt proceeding.
- The state’s standing counsel told the court the officer did not contact his office to provide instructions or file a reply.
- The contempt case stems from Vikram Singh’s challenge to the cancellation of his Dhangar caste certificate.
- The court record notes earlier directions for a Social Welfare Department Vigilance Unit inquiry and adherence to Supreme Court precedent, which the petitioner says were ignored.
- An April 22 order had told the District-Level Caste Scrutiny Committee to decide Singh’s application within three months, but no decision followed.
