New Delhi, July 23

Days after CJI DY Chandrachud assured of a detailed hearing on petitions seeking to criminalise marital rape in India, nine NDA-ruled states and the Union Territory of J&K have moved the Supreme Court seeking to be heard on the issue.

The states of Gujarat, MP, Uttarakhand, Assam, Rajasthan, Manipur, UP, Chhattisgarh and Maharashtra and the UT of J&K have filed separate intervention applications in the matter. The states and the UT want to present their respective stand on the contentious issue.

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).
