Student activist Meeran Haider Friday withdrew from the Delhi High Court his plea seeking bail in a case registered against him under the anti-terror law UAPA over the alleged larger conspiracy behind the communal riots that erupted in the Capital in February 2020.

Haider’s counsel told a Bench of Justice Suresh Kumar Kait and Justice Girish Kathpalia that since the police had concluded its investigation, he would approach the trial court for bail.

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).
