Taking suo motu notice of the news report published in these columns on Friday, the Bar Council of Punjab and Haryana has issued a show-cause notice to Dr Mewa Singh, an advocate practising in the Panchkula court here.
Dr Mewa Singh, a former judge, practising in the local court, had been using the nameplate of a “judge” on a car being used by him to visit the court. He was placed under suspension on September 12, 2007, when he was posted as the Chief Judicial Magistrate at Narnaul and later he retired in public interest in January this year.
The notice issued to the advocate stated that it was a violation of the Rule 36 of Bar Council of India Rules. Why the proceedings of professional misconduct be not initiated against him, asked the notice while directing him to be present before the chairman of bar council on January 3, 2011, for his comments. Failing this, his right of practice would remain suspended till further orders, said the notice.
