Prayagraj, Updated At : 06:47 AM Jul 26, 2025 IST

The Allahabad High Court has expressed displeasure over patients being treated as “guinea pigs or ATM machines” by private hospitals and dismissed a doctor’s plea against the criminal action initiated against him after a pregnant woman admitted in his facility lost her foetus.

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).
