Ram Singh Chauhan
The battle for Delhi Bar Council executive posts between chairman RS Chauhan and former vice chairman and currently disputed secretary Vijay Sondhi, has entered a new stage.
The Bar Council of Delhi’s (BCD) chairman RS Chauhan accused Luthra & Luthra litigation partner and former BCD vice chairman Vijay Sondhi of trying to obstruct the BCD from initiating disciplinary proceedings against Luthra, which Sondhi denied in a 2 June letter to Chauhan as “frivolous, bald and baseless”.
The DBC’s secretary Murari Tiwari, whom former DBC vice chairman Vijay Sondhi had allegedly replaced on 13 May, today alleged that Sondhi’s claim was false, and that he is still continuing as secretary.
Delhi high court advocate Ram Singh Chauhan was elected today by the Delhi bar council members unanimously after previous chairman Surya Prakash Khatri stepped down.
