New Delhi, April 8

A special CBI court on Friday asked former Amnesty International India chief Aakar Patel not to leave India without its permission as it stayed the Delhi Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate’s order to withdraw a lookout circular (LOC) issued against him in an FCRA violation case.

Acting on the CBI’s petition challenging the ACMM’s order that also required the CBI Director to issue a written apology to Patel, Special Judge Santosh Snehi Mann noted that it was necessary to give “due opportunity” to him to file a formal reply, if any, to CBI’s plea. Patel was stopped from flying to the US from Bengaluru airport on Wednesday. —

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).
