New Delhi, March 24

Chief Justice of India NV Ramana on Thursday condoled the death of former CJI RC Lahoti.

“His passing away is a jolt to the entire legal fraternity. Justice Lahoti will always be remembered as a fearless and independent judge,” Ramana said. A Full Court reference will be held later, he said.

Union Law Minister Kiren Rijiju in a tweet said, “Saddened…He rose from a humble background and reached the highest position of our country’s judiciary because of his ability and wisdom.” —

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).
