Mumbai, September 12

The Bombay High Court on Monday dismissed a petition filed by Rabia Khan, the mother of Bollywood actor Jiah Khan, who allegedly committed suicide, seeking a fresh investigation into the nine-year-old case. A Division Bench of Justices AS Gadkari and MN Jadhav noted that it had faith in the agency that probed the case.

The case was probed by the CBI which had charged actor Sooraj Pancholi, Jiah Khan’s boyfriend, with abetting her suicide. The body of the actress was found hanging at her Mumbai residence.

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).
