A contractual woman employee, who accused West Bengal Governor CV Ananda Bose of molesting her, has moved the apex court against “blanket immunity” given to Governors under Article 361(2) of the Constitution, saying it rendered her “remediless”.

“This court has to decide whether a victim like the petitioner can be rendered remediless, with the only option being to wait for the accused to demit office, which delay will then be unexplainable during the trial,” she submitted.

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).
