New Delhi, June 13

The Allahabad High Court has refused to quash an FIR against Alt News co-founder Mohammed Zubair for his tweet accusing Hindu leaders Yati Narasinghanand Saraswati, Bajrang Muni and Anand Swaroop of hate mongering, saying it would be premature to do so as the investigation had not yet taken place.

“The evidence has to be gathered after a thorough investigation and placed before the court concerned on the basis of which alone the court concerned can come to a conclusion one way or the other on the allegations levelled by the petitioner,” a Bench led by Justice Ramesh Sinha said in its order on Friday.

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).
