Chandigarh, March 15

TPS Randhawa, Additional Chief Judicial Magistrate, Chandigarh, has imposed the fine of Rs 10,000 on a person who was caught driving under the influence of liquor.

As per the prosecution, Keshav, a resident of Sector 27, was found driving a vehicle under the influence of liquor on March 10. Hence, the offence punishable under Section 185 of the Motor Vehicles Act was made out against him and a DDR was registered and the accused was arrested.

The accused pleaded guilty and did not claim trial. The court in the order stated that since the accused has pleaded guilty, he was ordered to pay a fine of Rs10,000.

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).
