Chandigarh, April 18
As the Municipal Corporation (MC) is caught in litigation in several court cases, the authorities have felt the need of getting own panel of advocates.
The MC is planning to have 15 to 20 lawyers in its panel. At present, the civic body is using panel of the UT Administration and has only one law officer.
“We have to depend on the Administration’s panel. If we have our own panel of advocates, they will be able to better understand corporation matters,” said Mayor Ravi Kant Sharma. “The issue will be brought in the MC House meeting on April 28. If approved by the House, it will be sent to the UT Administration for the final approval,” he added. “The MC is also bringing the agenda of regularising 72 employees, who are working on contractual basis,” he said. — TNS
