more-inMADURAIThe Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court on Tuesday directed the Superintendent of Police, Sivaganga district, to appear before it on Thursday. A division bench of Justices N. Kirubakaran and R.Tharani passed the direction while hearing a case of contempt after the court’s order directing reinstatement of a town panchayat employee was not effected. The court directed the Collector to take disciplinary proceedings against the Assistant Director of Town Panchayats for not bringing the issue to her notice and file a report within 15 days. The employee was placed under suspension for allegedly being involved in the incident leading to a fire accident at the office of Tiruppuvanam town panchayat in 2015. However, after three months, the court set aside his suspension and directed his reinstatement in service.
