Shimla, February 19

A local court today declined to accept the cancellation report filed by the Vigilance and Anti-Corruption Bureau in Rs1.27-crore shoe scam and directed the Vigilance to reinvestigate the case.

The case pertained to the purchase of shoes by the Police Department in 2010 and the Congress, which was then in the Opposition, had mentioned it in the chargesheet, alleging irregularities in the purchase.

The Congress government ordered a vigilance probe into the matter in 2013 and a case was filed.

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).
