Phagwara, August 4
The High Court will hear a petition filed by film and television serial producer Ekta Kapoor on Monday concerning a case registered against her and others by the Nakodar police in 2013.
Ekta Kapoor, her mother Shobha Kapoor and four members of her team involved in the production of serial Pavitra Rishta, and Zee TV owner had been booked by the Nakodar police under Section 295 -A of the IPC for hurting religious sentiments of the Valmiki community.
The case was lodged after Rauni Gill, president of the Bhartiya Valmiki Sarav Dharam Samaj and a resident of Shankar complained to the police that the August 5, 2013, episode of the serial had made objectionable references towards Maharishi Valmiki which hurt religious sentiments of the community.— OC

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).
