New Delhi: A Delhi Court on Monday issued bailable warrant against Haryana MLA Abhay Singh Chautala for failing to appear before it in a disproportionate assets case.
Special CBI Judge P S Teji directed Chautala, an Indian National Lok Dal MLA, to appear before the court on February 22.
The court took the coercive action against Chautala after CBI prosecutor A K Dutt submitted that summons issued against the leader could not be served despite their efforts.
The court had on February 2 issued summons against Chautala and his brother Ajay Chautala and others after taking cognisance on the chargesheet filed by the CBI in the case.
Meanwhile, Haryana MLA Ajay Chautala and co-accused Chetram, Om Prakash, Abhimanyu Singh, Rajender Kumar and Netram, who appeared before the court, were granted interim bail in the case.
The court posted the matter for February 22 for further proceedings.
The CBI had on December 24 filed a chargesheet against the two sons of former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala in the case.
