The members of the legal fraternity opposed former IPS officer Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh’s membership in the Punjab and Haryana High Court Bar Association.
Earlier, a section of lawyers on Saturday had opposed the Bar council’s decision to appoint Kunwar Vijay as a member of its disciplinary committee who was appointed on the day he registered as an advocate.
The Bar Council on Sunday withdrew the co-option of Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh as a member of its disciplinary committee.
The Bar Association Treasurer Parampreet Singh Bajwa wrote a letter addressing the High Court Bar Association’s president urging to reject Kunwar’s application for the membership on the ground that he has not only tried to degrade the noble profession of advocates but has also raised questions on the functioning of the judicial system.
“Before joining this esteemed profession of law, Kunwar has used very derogatory remarks about our fellow colleagues in which some senior advocates are also included. He tried to teach the Hon’ble court how to work and why the order had not been uploaded on the high court website without knowing the technical defects of the site and he had politicised the matter due to the reason best known to him,” said Bajwa in his letter.
The letter further remarked, “It is clear that Kunwar is not competent to become the member of this esteemed bar association as he had already tried to degrade this noble profession.”
