Mr. Anshul Mishra, a senior IAS officer from the 2004 batch of the Tamil Nadu cadre, has been appointed as Additional Director (Administration) at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), New Delhi. His appointment comes under the Union Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and was cleared by the Appointments Committee of the Union Cabinet, as per an order dated May 28, 2025.

The development follows closely on the heels of a Madras High Court ruling, which found Mr. Mishra guilty of contempt of court for failing to comply with a judicial directive. The court sentenced him to one month of simple imprisonment and directed him to pay a compensation of Rs. 25,000 to two elderly siblings—petitioners in a protracted land dispute case.

Background of the Case

The contempt proceedings stemmed from a decades-old legal battle over 17 cents of land in Chennai’s Nesapakkam, acquired in 1983 for the construction of Tamil Nadu Housing Board tenements. After years of litigation, a portion of the land was returned to the petitioners. In 2023, the High Court ordered the Chennai Metropolitan Development Authority (CMDA) to review the acquisition of the remaining land and respond within two months. At the time, Mr. Mishra served as Member Secretary of the CMDA but failed to act within the court-stipulated timeline.

Justice Velmurugan, who delivered the verdict, observed that the excuses provided by Mr. Mishra were neither bona fide nor satisfactory. He stressed that such indifference by public officials to judicial orders is deeply concerning and not an isolated occurrence. “Once an order gets passed by a court of law, it is binding upon the executive, and compliance is not optional,” the judge remarked, underlining that public servants are accountable to the Constitution and judiciary—not merely to their departments.

Mr. Mishra, who served at CMDA for nearly four-and-a-half years, was transferred in February 2025 and posted as Managing Director of the Tamil Nadu Urban Habitat Development Board. His subsequent deputation to AIIMS Delhi marks a significant administrative development amid ongoing discussions over bureaucratic accountability and the enforcement of court rulings.
