Maintaining that it will not leave people of Karnataka in the lurch, the apex court refused to interfere with the state HC’s order to the Centre to increase the daily oxygen allocation for the state from 965 MT to 1,200 MT.

“It’s a well calibrated, deliberated and judicious exercise of power after taking into account the number of Covid-19 cases. We will not interfere with it,” the Bench told Solicitor General Tushar Mehta.

It turned down the Centre’s contention that if every high court started passing orders, it would make the oxygen supply network “unworkable”. — TNS

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).
