Polls for DBA prez post announced

The document said, “Some other members expressed their view that the behaviour of Ashok Mittal with staff members and fellow colleagues is not good, therefore he should be removed from presidentship and fresh elections should be held on July 31.”
The signatories of the document said in letter had rejected the views on removal of president and meeting was “adjourned”, resolving that the vice-president will act as president till he regains his health.
Another document, signed by secretary Sham Sunder Ahuja, citing views of few advocates, said Ashok Mittal is discharged from the post of president and fresh elections would be conducted on July 31 to be conducted by the RO team.
On Saturday, a letter signed by RO Surunder Singh Khakh, AROs D R Sandhu, Lalita Jain and Amardeep Bahtia declared the schedule for elections of the president.
Reacting to the development, Ashok Mittal said the vice-president, joint, finance secretaries and seven executive committee members have supported him and he has not resigned, but delegated powers to the vice president for some time because of ill-health. He said proceedings of the meeting called by secretary were illegal and unconstitutional as Ahuja could only call an urgent meeting after getting a written permission from him.
Mittal said executive and office-bearers excluding secretary have passed a resolution that meeting was illegal as it was passed without the agenda in the general house.
Responding to Mittal’s claims, Ahuja said after becoming president, Mittal exhibited aggression and had even thrashed an advocate and a liftman besides misbehaving with six to seven judges. He said he had got a written complaint against him and one complaint is pending with the police. Ahuja said when there is a complaint against the president, there is no need for secretary to take permission from him.
