New Delhi, October 16

NewsClick founder Prabir Purkayastha and its Human Resources Department head Amit Chakraborty on Monday moved the Supreme Court contesting a Delhi HC verdict dismissing their petitions against their arrest and subsequent police remand in a case under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act (UAPA).

On behalf of Purkayastha and Chakraborty, senior counsel Kapil Sibal mentioned their petition before a Bench led by the CJI, who said he would look at the papers and list it. Mentioning the petition out of turn, Sibal urged the CJI to list it for urgent hearing, saying, “He (Purkayastha) is a 70-plus man in custody.”

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).
