The HP High Court has granted six more weeks to the Commissioner of the Shimla Municipal Corporation to decide the issue of the legality of the entire structure of the Sanjauli mosque.

Justice Sandeep Sharma passed the order on an application filed by the Municipal Commissioner seeking more time to decide the complaint filed in this regard. While granting additional time, the court made it clear in the order that no further extension would be given thereafter.

The High Court had earlier given time till December 20 to the Municipal Commissioner to decide the matter. In the meantime, when the matter was not settled, the Commissioner had sought additional eight weeks. Residents of Sanjauli had filed a petition for an early decision on the matter that was pending in the court of the Municipal Commissioner.

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).
