New Delhi: As almost one-third of the 1,079 posts of judges in 25 HCs remain vacant, a PIL was filed in the SC on Monday seeking to raise judges’ retirement age from 62 to 65 years. Filed by Delhi BJP leader and advocate Ashwini Kumar Upadhyay, the PIL demanded uniform retirement age for judges of HCs and the SC. The retirement age of judges of the top court is already 65 years.

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).
