Shimla, June 20

Advocate Ajay Kochhar was unanimously elected as the chairman of the Bar Council of Himachal Pradesh during a General House meeting of the Bar Council held today.

The election was held in the wake of vacancy created on account of the death of Ramakant Sharma, senior advocate, who was the sitting chairman of the Bar Council.

Earlier, the General House paid tribute to Ramakant Sharma and observed a two-minute silence in his memory. The House remembered the contribution of Ramakant Sharma towards the legal fraternity.

The meeting was presided over by the vice-chairman of the council, Narender Singh.
