Islamabad, July 30

The Islamabad High Court on Thursday constituted a two-member Bench to hear a review petition filed by the Pakistan government in the case of retired Indian naval officer Kulbhushan Jadhav, who is on a death row, reported Pakistani media.

The Bench would take up the plea on Monday. In a unilateral move, Pakistan filed the petition in the IHC on July 22, seeking appointment of a “legal representative” for Jadhav. However, the main parties, including the Government of India, were not consulted ahead of the filing of the application by the Ministry of Law and Justice under an ordinance which was enacted on May 20. — 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).
