  • 2. "Would it be correct for an ASG to be the President of the Bar? What about potential conflicts of interests?". Legal, HC
  • 3. "I saw him performing in court today. He comes to court unprepared. Either he is telling lies or does not know the facts. Sikhs worldwide, please do not ever make this character a role model with his turban, beard and status of President Bar Council.". Harpee, (Unknown City?) Delhi
