Navjot Singh Sidhu's pick becomes Punjab's new advocate general

India Today  

Senior advocate DS Patwalia has been appointed the advocate general of Punjab, said an official on Friday. Sources said Punjab Congress chief Navjot Singh Sidhu have been pushing for his appointment. Patwalia was appointed as state's top law officer, days after the resignation of senior advocate APS Deol was accepted by the Punjab cabinet. "The Governor of Punjab, in exercise of power, conferred under Article 165 of the Constitution of India is pleased to appoint Deepinder Singh Patwalia, senior advocate, Punjab and Haryana High Court, as advocate general for the state of Punjab with effect from the date he assumes charge of his office," according to an official order. Sidhu strongly opposed the appointment of Deol, who had represented former Punjab DGP Sumedh Singh Saini, in cases related to the 2015 police firing after the desecration of a religious text.
