New Delhi, December 7

Delhi riots conspiracy case accused Sharjeel Imam has moved the Supreme Court, seeking to expunge certain remarks made by the Delhi High Court against him in its order denying bail to co-accused Umar Khalid.

While rejecting the bail plea of Khalid, the High Court had referred to Imam as “arguably the head of the conspiracy”.

The remarks were made without giving him an opportunity of being heard and without any evidence on record, Imam said, adding it went against the principles of natural justice.

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).
