upcoming civic election have been before the courts in the past decade, The Leader has learned. Kuljinder Singh Gill, who changed his name to Gill 22 for the ballot, was found guilty of uttering threats and mischief under $5,000 in July, 2004. He was also charged Gill with assault the same year, and was found guilty of breach of his probation order. He served two weeks in Surrey Pretrial Services Robinson Centre for the offences. “Those are the serious ones (charges), those are going to give me negative feedback for sure,” Gill said Tuesday. “In the past, I have had a negative side.”
