Therefore the members of the Council present today resolved to allow both candidates to equally share the remaining term of chairmanship of the Council in equal halves.
Advocate F A Khalid will first take charge as Chairman followed by Senior Advocate Nameirakpam Jotendro until a new chairman is elected.
