New Delhi, May 26

A special CBI court, while reserving the order, today announced that it would pronounce the quantum of punishment to former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala in the disproportionate assets (DA) case on Friday.

Special Judge Vikas Dhull today heard the arguments from the counsels of the CBI and Chautala, who was convicted in the case of acquiring disproportionate assets from 1993 to 2006.

Chautala’s counsel urged the court to grant his client minimum punishment, citing his medical ailments and old age. The CBI counsel, however, sought maximum punishment for the convict, saying it would send a message to society.

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).
