New Delhi, September 1

The Supreme Court has ordered the CBI to conduct a preliminary inquiry into the decision of the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) and the Union Government refusing to declare Shaikh Ali “Gumti” in Defence Colony in the national Capital solely on the basis of objection by the locality’s welfare association.

Directing the CBI to file a report in two months, a Bench led by Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah posted the matter for further hearing on November 12. “If in the interregnum, official respondents concerned so desire, they will be at liberty to take steps to protect the ‘Gumti’, in accordance with law,” the Bench said.

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).
