Judicial Magistrate First Class (JMFC) Pradip Dubey issued the arrest warrant yesterday.
Prosecution officer Pankaj Dwivedi said that Sharma, in his capacity as district magistrate, gave administrative nod for prosecution of Arvind Raikwar, resident of Harshmau in Niwari tehsil, in an Arms Act case in October 2015.
In the consent letter for Raikwar's prosecution to the police, the collector also mentioned one Asaram.
Niwari JMFC's court asked Sharma to be present on February 27 to explain why Asaram's name figured in his prosecution order, Dwivedi said.
But the collector didn't turn up yesterday too. So the court issued an arrest warrant against the collector, seeking his presence on April 12.
