Mumbai, April 25

The Bombay HC on Monday dismissed a petition filed by lawmaker couple Navneet Rana and Ravi Rana, arrested in connection with the Hanuman Chalisa controversy, seeking that one of the two FIRs registered against them under Section 353 of the IPC be quashed.

The court said the petitioners and all others occupying public positions must act more responsibly and show respect towards other public persons.

“As is often said, with great power comes great responsibility,” a High Court Bench observed, adding that it found no merit in the plea filed by the Rana couple. —

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).
