Mehul Choksi, the businessman wanted in India to face charges in the Punjab National Bank fraud case, is suing the Indian government and five individuals in the High Court in London as conspirators for his alleged “kidnap, torture and attempted rendition”.

The Indian authorities have denied the allegations and objected to the UK jurisdiction on the basis of “state immunity” and also sought permission for expert evidence on Indian law.

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).
