Special Judge Ram Sudh Singh framed charges against Som under Sections 188 (disobedience to order duly promulgated by public servant) and 153 (wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot) of the Indian Penal Code and fixed April 15 for further hearing in the case.

According to Anil Jindal, a lawyer who represents the Sardhana BJP legislator, police had registered a case against Som on April 13, 2008, for allegedly giving a provocative speech against Thackeray at a public meeting in Katauli town on the day.

The case was registered after Shiv Sena activist Lalit Mohan Sharma lodged a complaint.

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).
