The Delhi High Court Thursday set aside the AAP Government’s doorstep ration delivery scheme, Mukhymantri Ghar Ghar Ration Yojna.

The High Court allowed two petitions filed by ration dealers challenging the scheme.

A Bench of Acting Chief Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Jasmeet Singh said the Delhi Government is free to bring another doorstep delivery scheme but it cannot use grains provided by the Centre for this doorstep scheme.

The High Court had on January 10 reserved its order on the pleas by petitioners Delhi Sarkari Ration Dealers Sangh and Delhi Ration Dealers’ Union after holding extensive hearings.

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).
