The Pune Bar Association (PBA) did not go ahead with its plans to include the right-to-reject option for the polls. Members said this was because they could not hold the general body meeting,mandatory to pass such a resolution,before the elections.
We shall,however,hold the GB after the new body is formed and ensure that the right to reject option is included in next years elections, said Milind Pawar,returning officer of the PBA elections held on Tuesday at Ashoka Hall,Shivajinagar court.
Counting was over late on Tuesday night and advocate Ashok Sankpal was elected the president of the PBA for 2012-13. Sankpal got 1998 of the total 3,300 votes and will take over from outgoing PBA president Dhananjay Taur.
The two vice-president posts have been bagged by advocates Shivraj Kadam (1,772 votes) and Satish Pailwan (1,692 votes). Sagar Newase and Pawan Kulkarni have been elected secretaries with 1,781 and 1,976 votes respectively. Satyajeet Tupe was elected treasurer with 1,600 votes,while advocate Umesh Kadam was elected the auditor for the second year in a row.
Two women candidates,Aruna Angarkhe and Sheetal Bhutada,were elected unopposed as members of the executive committee.
It was only last year that the PBA had reserved two seats for women in the committee. The others elected to the committee are Dnyaneshwar Barde,Ninad Bagmar,Santosh Kamble,Sudam Murkute,Rajeev Marathe,Vikas Musale,Moreshwar Raut and Ibrahim Shaikh.
The results were declared by returning officer Milind Pawar and additional returning officers Rajendra Daundkar and Pravin Nalawade.
