Advocates of the District Courts here have decided to resume work from tomorrow.

Alleging inaction by the police in the case pertaining to the death of Neeraj Hans, former secretary, District Court Bar Association, Chandigarh, the advocates have not been attending the courts for more than 20 days. They alleged that the police were not taking any action against the accused persons.

Hans died on October 7 after allegedly being punched in the chest during an argument with fellow advocates in the parking lot of the District Courts Complex, Sector 43. Hans was rushed to the hospital where he died during treatment.

Three cross-FIRs were registered following his death. The decision to resume work was taken in the general house meeting held today. A committee has been formed and it would coordinate with the police in the investigation.

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).
