New Delhi, February 3

The Supreme Court on Thursday extended for a week the protection from arrest given to Lok Insaf Party MLA Simarjit Singh Bains, against whom a Punjab court has issued an NBW.

A Bench led by CJI NV Ramana asked the State of Punjab to file its reply and the matter will be taken up after a week.

The court also gave protection from any coercive action to a woman who was allegedly slapped with several cases after she lodged a criminal case against Bains.

The Bench – which had on Tuesday given him protection from arrest for two days – raised questions over the conduct of Bains – a two-time MLA.

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).
