Chandigarh, April 4

The Chandigarh bench of the Central Administrative Tribunal (CAT) resumed physical hearing of cases today.

A notification issued by the Joint Registrar stated that during the week beginning April 4, the cases of the Chandigarh Bench would be heard via physical mode of hearing by the Division Bench comprising members Suresh Kumar Monga and Rakesh Kumar Gupta.

The physical hearing could not be held for more than a year due to Covid-19 restrictions.

The tribunal had earlier allowed filing of cases through email and conducting the hearing through virtual means.

Rohit Seth, president, CAT Bar Association, hailed the move of starting physical hearing of cases.

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).
