CHANDIGARH, Sept 3
— At a meeting held here today, the Bar Council of
Punjab and Haryana unanimously resolved to call on the
government for initiation of disciplinary action against
a Kaithal advocate who allegedly stabbed a woman judicial
officer in her chamber.
Condemning the act, all
members, under the chairmanship of Mr H.S. Mattewal, held
that the act portrayed the community in a poor light and
measures to prevent any such happening in the future
needed to be taken immediately. The members suggested
that the case should immediately be entrusted to a
disciplinary committee for taking suitable action as per
rules laid down by the Bar Council.
The council also
unanimously authorised the chairman to welcome the Law
Minister who is due to visit the city on September 6.
Another major resolution adopted was that efforts would
be made to computerise the entire record of the Bar
Council within the next six months. Meanwhile, all
complaints against advocates regarding professional
misconduct could not be taken up here today on account of
paucity of time and have been deferred till the next
meeting scheduled to be held in October.
