Nawanshahr, May 13 A deputation of the District Bar Association, comprising Mehnga Singh Banwait, president, Amrik Singh Rana, member, Punjab and Haryana Bar Association, H.S. Longia, Ajay Murgai, Brijnandan Singh Rana and K.K. Thakur, met Deputy Commissioner Shruti Singh and demanded immediate action against the SDM. Giving details, Rana said the SDM had misbehaved with an advocate when he came to his court for appearing on behalf of his client. The Balachaur Bar Association had already passed resolution condemning the behaviour of the SDM and had sent its copies to the Governor, Chief Minister, Chief Justice and president, Punjab and Haryana Bar Association, demanding stern action against the SDM. The DC had assured the delegation of proper inquiry and action into the case, said Rana, adding that if the issue was not resolved within two days, the stir would be intensified in consultation with the Punjab and Haryana Bar Association. Pardeep Aggarwal, SDM, Balachaur, when contacted on phone, while expressing his unwillingness to divulge any detail said he had submitted his report to the Deputy Commissioner. Regarding allegation of misbehaviour being levelled by the lawyers against him, Aggarwal said it was just in retaliation against the misconduct by an advocate while he was in his court. The Deputy Commissioner could not be contacted.
