The Gujarat Government has filed a petition in the Supreme Court seeking a review of its verdict quashing the remission granted to 11 mentioned convicts of gang-raping Bilkis Bano and killing her family members during the 2002 Gujarat riots, saying the court’s adverse comments have caused “serious prejudice” to it.

“It is submitted that the extreme observation made by this court that Gujarat ‘acted in tandem and was complicit with respondent’ is not only highly unwarranted and against the record of the case, but has caused serious prejudice to the state,” the petition read. The SC had on January 8 quashed premature release of convicts in the case, saying the Gujarat Government didn’t have the jurisdiction on the matter.

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).
