Build a “watertight” case and do not file a chargesheet hurriedly under public pressure, the Bombay High Court on Tuesday told the police team probing the sexual assault of two girls at a school at Badlapur in Maharashtra.

A Division Bench of Justices Revati Mohite Dere and Prithviraj Chavan also said boys should be sensitised. “Education of boys is important. ‘Bete ko padhao, beti ko bachao’ (educate the boy and save the girl),” Justice Dere said, tweaking the government slogan.

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).
