Chandigarh, March 23

The Punjab and Haryana High Court has put Panjab University on notice on a petition filed by a transgender, aggrieved by unavailability of hostel accommodation even after grant of admission in a postgraduate course.

Justice Sudhir Mittal’s Bench, during the course of hearing, was told that the first semester had already been completed. As such, there was an urgency in the matter. Responding to the notice, a standing counsel for the varsity accepted the same. The case will now come up for hearing on April 26.

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).
