Garg, a 2009-batch IAS officer, was previously the managing director of Haryana State Industrial and Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd and managing director of Haryana Financial Corporation. These charges have now been assigned to Sarwan.

The orders were issued after a complaint was made to the Election Commission of India against Sarwan as he hails from Ambala, and was posted in Panchkula, a part of the Ambala constituency.

A deputy commissioner also serves as the district election officer. Also, Sarwan’s mother had remained an MLA from Mullana in Ambala and was a member of the ruling party, it was stated in the

complaint.
