New Delhi, December 12

The Election Commission (EC) today fixed January 5 to hear the arguments of the Shiv Sena’s warring factions led by Uddhav Thackeray and Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, as lawyers from both the groups sought more time to examine the documents.

Officials said as more time was sought by lawyers of both the factions to claim the party’s name and symbol, thus January 5, 2023, was fixed as a new date for hearing. Senior counsels Kapil Sibal and Mahesh Jethmalani appeared before the EC on behalf of Thackeray and Shinde faction, respectively. The Thackeray faction has been claiming that it does not recognise the other group.

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).
