New Delhi, August 30

The Supreme Court on Friday asked National Conference leader Omar Abdullah and his estranged wife Payal Abdullah to appear for mediation to explore the possibility of a settlement.

The Bench of Justice Sudhanshu Dhulia and Justice Ahsanuddin Amanullah said it would hear the matter on November 4 after the submission of a report by the Supreme Court Mediation Centre. The top court had earlier sought a response from Payal Abdullah on her husband’s plea seeking divorce.

On December 12, 2023, the Delhi HC had dismissed Omar’s plea seeking divorce, saying there was no merit in his appeal. The high court had upheld the 2016 family court order, refusing to grant a decree of divorce to Omar.

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).
