‘Promotion’ time

Visits to the chambers of high court judges by lawyers,off late,have increased. Reason: names of lawyers for designation of “senior lawyer” and elevation to high court judgeship are being contemplated by the Punjab and Haryana High Court. All candidates vying,either for the designation of senior lawyer or high court judgeship,are keeping quiet about their visits. Those unsure of their ‘promotion’ are seeking advice of their seniors and requesting them to put in a word of reference.

The bitter contest between Congress candidate Chander Mukhi Sharma and the BJP-SAD’s Harjinder Kaur for ward 15 is such that the two seem to leave no stone unturned in taking digs at one another. Harjinder quips: “I keep telling the residents of my wards that pardesiyon se na akhiya milana . They might not be found here when required”.

Daring theft

The growing incidents of theft in the past few weeks finally claimed its first police victim. Someone stole the jacket of a station house officer(SHO) from the police lines,Sector 26 where the officer had come to take part in a parade. He had handed over his jacket to a cop who had kept it somewhere. After completion of the parade the jacket was nowhere to be found.
