New Delhi, June 13

Noted constitutional expert KK Venugopal will continue as the Attorney General of India for one more year, sources say.

He has accepted the government’s request to serve as the top law officer of the country beyond June 30 when his current three-year tenure expires, they add.

Responding to the Centre’s communication with regard to giving him a new tenure, the 89-year-old veteran senior advocate said he would prefer to have just a one-year fresh stint in view of his age, they said.

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).
