Justice Sanjeev Kumar was appointed the acting chief justice of the Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh High Court on Wednesday, according to the Law Ministry.

In a notification, it said Justice Kumar, a judge of that high court, has been appointed as the acting chief justice as incumbent Tashi Rabstan demits office this evening on attaining the age of 62 years.

On April 4, the Supreme Court Collegium recommended the appointment of Justice Arun Palli, a judge of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, as the chief justice of the High Court of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.

Between the retirement of an incumbent high court chief justice and the appointment of a regular chief justice, an officiating or acting chief justice is appointed as an interim arrangement.

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).
