The Madras High Court has found Indian Administrative Service (IAS) officer Anshul Mishra guilty of contempt of court and directed him to undergo simple imprisonment for one month. The court, however, suspended the sentence until he could prefer an appeal before a Division Bench of the court.
Justice P. Velmurugan directed the Madras High Court Registry to take steps for securing the custody of the former Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) Member Secretary and make him undergo the sentence if he does not prefer the appeal within the limitation period of 30 days.
