	Sidhu was an IAS officer, 1952 class of the Uttar Pradesh state cadre. He served as the District Magistrate of Kanpur and subsequently as Commissioner of Agra Division. He was the Secretary-General of the [[International Civil Aviation Organization]] from August 1988 to August 1991. He intervened in the purchase of HDW submarines by the Indian Government by appointing himself the Chair of the relevant Selection Committee and is accused of wrongly computing the best and most qualified bidder for the purchase by preferring HDW. The resulting detection by Defence Minister, VP Singh, proved to be a scandal for which the then Prime Minister dismissed him from the post. The contract for purchase of HDW was signed during the period when Indira Gandhi was Prime Minister and the relevant alterations are attributed to her period of governance. Sidhu was never prosecuted and CBI's report on the matter lies gathering dust.
