The Supreme Court is scheduled to hear on Monday a PIL, alleging misuse of women-centric laws like the Dowry Prohibition Act, the Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, and the provision on cruelty against women in the IPC to question their validity.

The plea filed by Rupshi Singh highlights the malice in law and the unreasonableness and the lack of semblance of law in the provisions. It is scheduled to be heard by a Bench of Justices BR Gavai and K Vinod Chandran.

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).
