New Delhi, February 19

The Election Commission’s order of February 7 allotting ‘Nationalist Congress Party-Sharadchandra Pawar’ as the party name for the Sharad Pawar faction will continue till further orders, the Supreme Court said on Monday.

A Bench of Justice Surya Kant and Justice KV Viswanathan issued a notice to the Ajit Pawar-led faction of Nationalist Congress Party on Sharad Pawar’s petition against the February 6 order of Election Commission recognising the Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister-led group as the real NCP.

“We would like to examine the matter,” the Bench said, giving liberty to Sharad Pawar to move the EC for allocation of the party symbol. It directed the EC to allot a symbol to Pawar-led NCP within a week of filing an application.

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).
