Chandigarh, March 3

Members of the District Bar Association have decided to boycott the court of an Additional District Judge (ADJ) over alleged misbehaviour with advocates.

Advocate Sunil Kumar Toni, president of the association, said the decision was taken in the general House meeting today.

A notice issued by the executive committee of the DBA after the meeting read, “…the Judge has misbehaved with a number of lawyers appearing in his court room which is not tolerable at all. All members (of the association) are requested not to appear in the court of ADJ”. Advocates led by Toni have also assembled in the court of the Judge and raised slogans expressing solidarity with the lawyers.

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).
