HC issues arrest warrant against Health Department Chief Secretary Rajan Khobragade

Kerala: The High Court has issued an arrest warrant against Additional Chief Secretary of Health Department Rajan Khobragade. The High Court has taken action in a case of contempt of court. The division bench has directed the police to arrest Rajan Khobragade and present him on the 20th of this month. This action has been taken in the contempt of court petition filed by Dr. B Unnikrishnan, Assistant Director of Health Department, regarding his promotion. The High Court division bench had ruled that Dr. Unnikrishnan should be appointed in 2023. The government’s appeal and review petition against this was rejected by the Supreme Court. After this, the High Court had directed the Health Department to issue promotion orders last September. Dr. B Unnikrishnan again approached the High Court and said that his promotion order was not being followed. The High Court had directed Rajan Khobragade to appear in person today under the petition.
