Chandigarh, July 14

Judicial Magistrate (First Class) Jaspreet Singh Minhas has sentenced a resident of Fatehabad district in Haryana — Rakesh Kumar — to two years of rigorous imprisonment (RI) in a dowry case. Besides, the court has also imposed a fine of Rs 2,000 on the convict.

The police had booked the Kumar on May 5, 2013, for offences punishable under Sections 406 and 498-A of the IPC following a complaint by his wife.

The complainant had alleged that six months into their marriage, her husband and members of his family had started demanding Rs 2 lakh in dowry from her. She alleged that she was physically assaulted by them. Kumar had pleaded not guilty to the charges.

While his counsel had argued that he was being falsely implicated in the case, he was convicted in the case.

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).
