AAP leader and Rajya Sabha member Sanjay Singh on Tuesday appeared before a court here in a defamation case filed by Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia.

He appeared before the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Harsimran Singh here.

The court on Monday had issued an arrest warrant against the Aam Aadmi Party leader after he failed to appear before it.

Talking to reporters outside the court on Tuesday, Singh said he could not appear before the court on Monday because of his grandfather’s ‘tehrvin’ (thirteenth day of mourning after a person’s death).

After hearing him, the court granted Singh bail, he said.

Majithia had filed a defamation case against Singh in 2016 for his alleged defamatory statement at a rally in 2015. PTI

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).
