A local court has granted bail to Sunny, a native of Punjab, who was arrested in a case registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. The police had arrested the accused on May 5 with 1 kg of “ganja’.

The counsel for the accused argued that the accused was falsely implicated in the case.

He said no senior police official was called to seize the contraband and no notice under Section 50 of the NDPS was handed to the accused.

However, the public prosecutor opposed the bail application. After hearing of the arguments, the court allowed the bail application.

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).
