Triangular contest for HC Bar president’s post
Chandigarh, May 1 While a two-time former president, Mr Anmol Rattan Sidhu, will lock horns with Mr Rakesh Kumar Garg and Mr S.S. Dalal for the post of president, the new occupant of the office of secretary will be chosen from among Mr A.K. Sinha, Mr Amandeep Singh Singhmar and Mr Onkar Singh
Batalvi. For the post of vice-president, four candidates are in the fray. They are Mr Arun Bansal, Mr Diwan Singh Sharma, Mr Jaskaran Singh Attar and Mr M.K. Dogra. Two women advocates — Ms Balwinder Kaur and Ms Meenal Goyal —will vie for the post of joint secretary, and Mr Amit Jaiswal and Mr Kanwar Berjeshwar Singh Jaswal will face the voters for the post of treasurer. A total of 12 lawyers are in the fray for the 10 posts of executive members (up to 10 years). Meanwhile, some of the posts have been filled without any election as there was no contest. Among those who have been declared elected unopposed include Mr D.S. Nehra and Mr O.P. Goyal (both senior executive members), Ms Meenakshi Kumari Chaudhary ( executive member) and Mr Ashok Kumar Verma, Ms Bhupinder Pal Kaur Brar, Mr Divjyot Singh Sandhu, Mr Jagmohan Singh Bhatti, Ms Kulwant Kaur Kahlon, Mr Rajinder Goyal and Mr Swaran Singh (all executive members in the above-10 year category). Speaking to The Tribune, Senior Advocate Manmohan Lal
Sarin, who is heading the election committee, said all arrangements had been made for the smooth conduct of the polls. He disclosed that a total of 2046 voters would be eligible to cast their vote on May 5. The total number of voters in last year's election was about 200 more than the present figure. The fall in the number of voters is being attributed to the fact that the election committee has strictly implemented the clause relating to one Bar-one vote. This means that any member of the Punjab and Haryana High Court Bar Association, who has voted in any district Bar election this year, will not be allowed to cast his vote. This time the election committee had asked the members to submit affidavits to the effect that they had not voted in any of the District Bar Association elections.
