The Supreme Court on Tuesday told former IAS probationer Puja Khedkar — who’s accused of cheating and wrongly availing OBC and disability quota benefits in the UPSC exam — that she cannot avail separate attempts to clear the test as an “able” as well as a “disabled” candidate. The Bench posted Khedkar’s plea for further hearing on April 15 after her counsel sought time to file response to an affidavit of the Delhi Government. The top court also extended the protection from arrest granted to Khedkar on January 15 till April 15.

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).
