Crimes - Criminals - Judges - Lawyers - Trials

Oct. 16, 1979 - Britain's First Sikh Judge Mr Recorder Mota Singh, QC has just been sworn in as Britain's first Sikh judge-indeed, the first immigrant from the new commonwealth to set foot on the British judicial ladder. And for the first time a British judge will wear a turban instead of a wig. Born in Nairobi 49 years ago, he is product of Kenya's Asian middle class.
