Srinagar, March 12 A local court on Thursday issued a warrant for the arrest of former Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah in the Jammu and Kashmir Cricket Association (JKCA) scam case.
Chief Judicial Magistrate Srinagar, Tabassum, issued the warrants despite Abdullah's failure to appear in court either in person or online.
The magistrate also rejected Abdullah's plea for an exemption from appearing before the court.
The court also rejected an exemption application of another accused, Manzoor Gazanfar Ali, and ordered a warrant for his arrest.
"If any of the accused fails to appear before the court, appropriate orders will be issued," the court added.
The case has been posted for March 30.
