He claimed that the memorandum was actually handed over to the Agriculture Ministry on September 6, a day after Mr Ajit Singh spoke to reporters at Hisar.

MCs hate identifying sureties Hisar, September 11 The problem originates from a practice prevalent in the local courts which requires that the person furnishing surety for the accused granted bail should produce a sitting or a former municipal commissioner as identifier. Without such identification, the surety is not accepted by the courts and the accused is not allowed bail. Lawyers say this practice has been prevalent for as long as they can remember. There is no such requirement in the Criminal Procedure Code. Thus the practice has no legal basis. A delegation of sitting and former MCs met Mr Justice H.S. Bedi of the Punjab and Haryana High Court here yesterday and requested him for intervention. The judge asked the District and Sessions Judge, Mr Nawab Singh, to look into the matter. Mr Nawab Singh has convened a meeting with MCs to discuss the issue tomorrow. |
