Shimla, June 11

The HP High Court has convicted a person under Section 376 of the IPC of raping a minor. The High Court reversed the judgment of the Sessions Court, Nahan, which had acquitted the accused on April 29, 2011, of the offence. It had allowed the appeal of the state government challenging the acquittal of the accused. A Division Bench comprising Justice Vivek Singh Thakur and Justice Rakesh Kainthla convicted the accused and directed the state government to apprehend him and produce him in court for hearing on the quantum of sentence.

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).
