Chandigarh, October 13

The Punjab and Haryana High Court today fixed October 27 as the next date of hearing on a petition questioning the continuation of CM Manohar Lal Khattar after allegedly violating the solemn oath to uphold the Constitution and the rule of law, following the “dangerous speech”.

The case came up for preliminary hearing before Justice MS Ramachandra Rao this morning, but was adjourned. So far, the notice of motion has not been issued on the plea. Chander Shekher and six other petitioners through counsel APS Shergill also sought directions to ban the video so that it didn’t become a “weapon in the hands of anti-national forces for creating political and social unrest and large-scale violence. — TNS

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).
