A court in Hassan has ordered the arrest of the tahsildar for failing to attend a hearing in connection with the final decree proceedings (FDP) of a partition suit.
The issue came to light when the authorised person of the court, the bailiff, reached the taluk office on November 23 to arrest the tahsildar, Shwetha N. Ravindra, who was not in her chamber.
Principal Senior Civil Judge Anand P. Hogade, in his order on November 8, directed the bailiff of the court to arrest the tahsildar for failing to attend the hearing, and bring the officer before the court.
