The Delhi High Court was on Monday told that megastar Amitabh Bachchan’s voice had been removed from the caller tune on precautions against coronavirus and therefore, nothing remains in the PIL which sought its removal.

The submission was made before a bench of Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh by the petitioner who said with the removal of the actor’s voice from the caller tune, his plea had become infructuous.

Taking note of the submission, the court disposed of the petition as not pressed.

The petitioner had sought removal of the voice of the megastar from the caller tune on the ground that the actor himself, along with some family members, had been infected by the virus. 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).
