Chandigarh, May 12

A longstanding disagreement between a mother and her son was resolved with the young man agreeing to provide his mother Rs 12,000 per month maintenance allowance.

The settlement took place during the National Lok Adalat held under the guidance of Justice Arun Palli.

A total of 2,56,589 cases were resolved. The settlements amounted to more than Rs 110 crore. In Faridabad, a petitioner’s disability was assessed on the spot with the assistance of an orthopedic surgeon deputed in the (MACT) Bench for expert opinion. A divorce petition pending for two years saw a breakthrough in Charkhi Dadri. Despite initial disagreements, the matter was settled with the wife agreeing to a one-time settlement of Rs. 15 lakh with the minor’s custody remaining with her.

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).
