The Supreme Court Collegium led by Chief Justice BR Gavai on Thursday recommended to the Centre names of three judges for appointment as chief justices of high courts of Patna, Meghalaya and Manipur. The decision was taken by the three-judge Collegium, which also included Justices Surya Kant and Vikram Nath.

It recommended names of Karnataka High Court’s Justice Pavankumar B Bajanthri as Chief Justice of Patna High Court. Justice Bajanthri is presently working as the acting Chief Justice of the Patna HC. The Calcutta High Court’s Justice Soumen Sen has been recommended to be appointed as the Chief Justice of the Meghalaya HC while the Madras HC Justice M Sunder has been recommended for elevation as the Chief Justice of the Manipur HC, consequent upon retirement of the incumbent Chief Justice K. Somashekar on September 14, 2025.

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).
