Chandigarh, September 19

Chandigarh’s Chander Mukhi Sharma, former secretary general of the Basketball Federation of India, has been nominated again to the elite FIBA Appeals Commission

It’s a high power legal body that sits in judgment on all legal matters concerning the governance of sport of basketball in the world, including, if required, the decisions taken by the FIBA (International Basketball Federation).

Sharma, who is the current serving secretary general of South Asia Basketball Association, became the first Indian to be nominated to the elite panel for the term 2019-23.

“This appointment is a tribute to the entire legal fraternity in India, especially those of us who strive hard to uphold the ideals of good, clean and transparent governance in sport in order to serve the overall growth of the society,” said Sharma.

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).
