New Delhi, September 2

Citing the legal dictum of “bail is rule and jail is exception”, the Supreme Court on Monday granted bail to AAP’s former communication in-charge Vijay Nair in a money laundering case linked to the Delhi excise policy “scam”.

Liberty is sacrosanct and it needs to be respected in cases involving even stringent laws, a Bench of Justice Hrishikesh Roy and Justice SVN Bhatti said in its order. Nair is the fourth prominent accused to be released on bail in the case, after AAP leaders Sanjay Singh and Manish Sisodia and BRS leader K Kavitha.

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).
