The hearing on the application filed by SP, Shimla, Sanjeev Gandhi to seek permission to file an appeal regarding the removal of certain observations made in the single judge’s order transferring the probe in the Vimal Negi death case to the CBI has been deferred to August 25.

In its earlier order, a Division Bench of the High Court had issued notices to the state government and Kiran Negi, the deceased’s wife, regarding the removal of some observations made in the single judge’s order transferring the probe to the CBI. The court will now hear the SP’s plea on this limited aspect.

During the course of hearing, the respondents requested for three more weeks to file a reply to the application, which was allowed and the Division Bench of Justice Vivek Singh Thakur and Justice Ranjan Sharma fixed the next hearing on August 25.

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).
