New Delhi, July 12

The Supreme Court on Friday dismissed a PIL seeking a court-monitored probe into the death of 121 persons following a stampede at a religious congregation in Hathras district of Uttar Pradesh even as it termed such incidents as “very disturbing”.

“Everything does not have to come in a PIL under Article 32. You file it in the high court. The idea of all this is to make a sort of big deal about incidents that take place. Of course, these are disturbing incidents… High courts are robust courts… they are meant to deal with these kinds of matters,” a three-judge Bench led by CJI DY Chandrachud told petitioner Vishal Tiwari.

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).
