Amritsar, October 29

The writ petition filed by Senior Deputy Mayor Raman Bakshi in the Punjab and Haryana High Court regarding the dispute on Mayorship has been dismissed by the double bench of the court.

The petition was filed by Senior Deputy Mayor Raman Bakshi in April alleging that Mayor Karmajit Rintu does not have the requisite majority and he should be removed from the post. The petitioner demanded a floor test by calling a General House meeting of the MC.

On Friday, the double bench of Justices Ritu Bahri and Nidhi Gupta dismissed the petition.

Notably, Mayor Karamjit Singh Rintu had joined the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) along with some of his Congress councillors before the Assembly elections in Punjab. After the decision of the High Court, Mayor Karamjit Singh Rintu said the truth has won.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
