Chandigarh, April 23

The District Bar Association (DBA) has urged the District and Sessions Judge to kick-start filing and hearing cases of extreme exigency.

DBA president NK Nanda said the priority of cases post-lockdown period can be restricted to anticipatory bails, regular bails, protection matters and cases in which evidence have been concluded.

Routine cases wherein no immediate urgency is involved or in cases wherein evidence has to be led can be deferred till normal court working starts, he said.

In terms of civil matters, urgent cases, including injunction, direction or stay is concerned should be heard by the Presiding Officers, he said and added that cases can be filed by way of e-filing by giving compiled matter or applications to official e-mail ID. — TNS

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).
