Non-bailable warrant against Ratan Tata

Non-bailable arrest warrants have been issued against Telco chairman Ratan Tata, Telco Worker's Union general secretary Gopeshwar Lal and 15 others for failure to appear in court in connection with a complaint regarding misappropriation of union funds.

Judicial Magistrate K S Sinha issued the arrest warrants at the weekend on the petition filed by former TWU member Kamaleswar Singh under Section 406, 567, 471, 477 A, 201, and 202 of the Indian Penal Code on November 23 last year.

The case was filed in the chief judicial magistrate's court and later transferred to Sinha's court after taking cognisance.

Sinha also directed Telco executive directors G J Ghandy and S M Rawal and vice-president A P Arya to appear before the court on May 28.

They were, however, eligible to obtain bail on the same day.

The court had earlier served several summons to the accused.
