New Delhi, August 28

A Delhi court on Wednesday reserved its order on the bail plea of Lok Sabha MP Sheikh Abdul Rashid, commonly known as Engineer Rashid, who is currently in jail in connection with a terror-funding case. The court is expected to pronounce its decision on September 4.

Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Chander Jit Singh heard arguments on the application during an in-camera hearing and reserved his order. The judge had last week issued a notice to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and directed it to file its response by August 28 on his plea.

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).
