New Delhi, May 17

There was no immediate relief for Jharkhand ex-CM Hemant Soren in a PMLA case linked to a land scam on Friday as the Supreme Court deferred to May 21 the hearing on his plea for interim bail to enable him to campaign in the ongoing Lok Sabha poll.

The SC, which had on May 13 issued a notice to the ED on Soren’s petition challenging his arrest, asked the agency to file response on plea for interim bail as also his challenge to arrest by Monday and posted the matter for hearing on Tuesday.

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).
