Jalandhar, July 13

The Kottayam Additional District and Sessions Court today cancelled the bail to Bishop Franco Mulakkal of Jalandhar diocese. The court also issued non-bailable warrants against Mulakkal who is an accused in the nun rape case.

The court had asked him to appear in person on July 1, but he failed to appear, citing that his residence in Jalandhar fell in a Covid-19 containment zone.

The special public prosecutor pointed out that Mulakkal had misled the court as his house in the Civil Lines area, Jalandhar, was not in the containment zone. — 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).
