Law officer in the dock gets 'Sikh of the year' award

NEW DELHI: A day after the law ministry asked him to explain his conduct in connection with two incidents, additional solicitor general (ASG) Amarjit singh Chandiok was conferred with `Sikh of the year' award by a UK-based organisation.

`The Sikh Forum International' in a press release said the ASG was chosen for the award because, apart from his other achievements, "he has maintained the dignity of the bar and its members by setting high standards in judicial practices at national and international forums''.

The senior law officer took the opportunity to deny having violated any rules and claimed he was yet to receive any communication from the law ministry.

"I have always abided by rules. At no point of time I have flouted any rule. I would certainly reply if I get any communication from the government,'' Chandiok said.
