Chandigarh, July 31

A local court has imposed a fine of Rs500 each on two persons for violating the orders of the District Magistrate issued to prevent the spread of coronavirus under Section 144 of the CrPC. The accused were found roaming without permission.

Rajinder Kumar was arrested on April 18, 2021, in Mani Majra, while Prosanto was arrested on May 2, 2021, near Kishangarh Chowk, Chandigarh.

Challans were presented against them in the court. Finding a prima facie case, a notice of accusation under Section 188 of the IPC was served upon the accused to which they pleaded guilty and did not claim trial and voluntarily confessed their guilt.

The court, in its order, observed that since the accused confessed their guilt voluntarily, they had been ordered to pay a fine of Rs500 each.

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).
