Mandi, March 5

The HP State Vigilance & Anti-Corruption Bureau (SV&ACB) has filed a charge sheet against a purchaser of land, seller of land, stamp vendor, former Senior Assistant and former Tehsildar, Sadar Mandi, before the court of Special Judge, Mandi, for conspiring to cheat the state government in the payment of due stamp fees/registration fees by cheating, falsification of records and abuse of office.

Bureau ASP, Mandi, Kulbhushan Verma said, “The case was registered in 2017 on the basis of an inquiry which revealed that the accused purchaser of land who was closely related to the Tehsildar had conspired with the seller and made a false affidavit that the land was 50 m away from the road so that it would attract less stamp duty and registration fees whereas it was actually only 5 m away from the road.” — 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).
