A Delhi court on Tuesday deferred to January 31 its verdict in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case related to murder of two persons against former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar after the prosecution sought time to further argue on certain points raised by the defence counsel.

Special Judge Kaveri Baweja, who was scheduled to pronounce the order on Tuesday, deferred the pronouncement following an application filed by the public prosecutor seeking to argue on certain points “essential for just adjudication of the case”.

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).
