Jammu, January 30

The Jammu and Kashmir administration has directed district magistrates in the Union Territory to review orders passed under Section 144 of the CrPC to assess the need for the same and ensure any orders passed under Section 144 were in conformity with the directions of the Supreme Court.

On January 10, the apex court had underscored the statutory obligation upon magistrate(s) to adhere to procedural requirements. It had said that Section 144 could not be used to suppress legitimate expression of opinion or grievance or exercise of democratic rights. —TNS

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).
