Chandigarh, March 17

The Punjab and Haryana High Court on Thursday reserved its verdict on a bunch of petitions challenging the Act providing 75 per cent reservation in Haryana industries for the domiciles of the state after hearing lengthy arguments in the matter.

The High Court, during the course of the hearing, made it clear that the core issue for adjudication before it was whether a state could restrict employment even in the private sector on the basis of the domicile.

The assertion came in the detailed order staying the implementation of the Haryana State Employment of Local Candidates Act, 2020, providing 75 per cent reservation in Haryana industries for the domiciles of the state.

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).
