Shimla, June 3

The quantum of sentence in the Gudiya rape and murder case was deferred again to June 8 by the CBI special court as the lone convict Anil Kumar, alias Nilu, a chirani (wood cutter), could not be produced in the court today due to the curfew in the state.

The court had held Nilu guilty of rape and murder on April 28 last. This is the fourth time that the sentence has been deferred. Earlier, the sentenced was to be announced on May 11. It was postponed to May 18, then to May 28 and then again to June 3 .

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).
