Chandigarh, June 7

A general court martial (GCM) has held a Lieutenant Colonel guilty of maintaining an inappropriate relationship with a woman clerk while both of them were posted at the Indian Military Academy, Dehradun.

He has been awarded forfeiture of three years’ service for the purpose of the substantive rank of Lieutenant Colonel, three years’ seniority of rank and three years’ service for increased pay, along with severe reprimand, sources said. The GCM, presided by Col Harpreet Singh with Lt Col Gourav Verma as the judge advocate and Col Virender Singh (retd) as the prosecution counsel, had been convened by Major General Sanjeev Khatri, General Officer Commanding, Uttarakhand Sub Area.

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).
