Bengaluru, February 16

Eminent jurist and former Governor of Bihar and Jharkhand, Justice (Retd) M Rama Jois, passed away here on Tuesday. He was 89 and is survived by wife, son and daughter.

Jois, also a noted writer and historian, was not keeping well due to age-related ailments and suffered a cardiac arrest, family sources said.

Mandagadde Rama Jois, who was born in Karnataka’s Shivamogga district, had also served as Chief Justice of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. He was also a former Rajya Sabha member.

BJP president JP Nadda said Jois served selflessly for the nation and left his deep imprint on judiciary, executive and legislative fields.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi described him as a towering intellectual and jurist, who was admired for his rich intellect and contributions towards making India’s democratic fabric stronger. – PTI

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).
