Srinagar, August 12

The High Court today granted two days to Ganderbal DC Shyambir Singh to decide if he was willing to submit an affidavit of apology to a subordinate court in a criminal contempt case. A Division Bench of Justice Atul Sreedharan and Justice Sanjeev Kumar listed the case on August 14.

The proceedings against Singh, a 2018-batch IAS officer serving as Ganderbal DC since 2022, were initiated after allegations surfaced that he had retaliated against Ganderbal Sub-Judge Fayaz Ahmad Qureshi and allegedly abused his official position to intimidate and harass him. Qureshi had passed an order to attach Singh’s salary due to non-compliance with an October 2022 judgment. — PTI

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).
