A Bench is scheduled to take up a petition challenging a Punjab and Haryana High Court’s order to remove barricades erected by the police and a contempt petition against Punjab Chief Secretary and DGP.

It will also take up a plea filed on behalf of Dallewal seeking a direction to the Centre seeking implementation of a proposal, including a legal guarantee of MSP on crops, made to the protesting farmers in 2021 after the farm laws were repealed.

The Supreme Court had on January 6 adjourned the hearing after being told that Dallewal has agreed to meet Justice Nawab Singh (retd)-led high-powered committee set up by the top court.

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).
