The ACLU has filed two complaints with Mississippi state officials, claiming that a Sikh truck driver was harassed by traffic cops for possessing a religious talisman and then further humiliated by a county judge who referred to his turban as "that rag."

A leading human rights lawyer, Rabinder Singh told the Law Society Gazette: “I am a barrister who happens to be a Sikh. I have always tried to be a role model, by the work I do. I haven’t said, ‘I’m a Sikh barrister, look at what I do’. I’ve just said, ‘Look at what I do’. Everyone can see what I am.”

Justice S S Nijjar, one of the two Supreme Court judges on the bench scheduled to hear a petition filed by the Sehajdhari Sikh Federation in connection with the voting rights of Sehajdhari Sikhs in the September 18 SPGC polls, chose to withdraw from hearing the case.

"The appointment of Mr Rabinder Singh QC, a talented and highly respected barrister, to the High Court, represents a real landmark in the drive to create a more diverse judiciary which continues to attract the highest quality candidates."

Retired circuit judge Mota Singh QC received a knighthood in recognition of his services to the administration of justice, community relations and the voluntary sector.
