Chandigarh, July 7
Sodhi Haravtar Singh died yesterday morning after a brief illness. He was 94, and one of the oldest residents of Anandpur Sahib, the city where he was born and where he lived to the last breath. He was cremated the same evening.
Sodhi Haravtar Singh lived in an ancestral haveli, which is over 350 years old, and had been, because of the family, a venue of many significant political and religious events.
He studied at Aitchison College and Government College, Lahore, and Royal Indian Military Academy, where his batchmate was Marshal of the Indian Air Force, Arjan Singh DFC. He did not join the Army, but came back to Anandpur Sahib to take care of his ancestral property.
He was president of the Municipal Committee of Anandpur Sahib, which is among the oldest municipal bodies in the region. Sodhi Haravtar Singh was featured in these pages as the oldest litigant in Punjab a few years ago.
He is survived by his wife, Parmindar Kaur, his sons, Justice RS Sodhi, former Judge of the Delhi High Court, and Vikram Sodhi, a businessman and polo player, and daughters Rimlu Giani and Indira Maini.
The bhog will be held in Anandpur Sahib on July 11.
