President Droupadi Murmu has nominated Justice DY Chandrachud, the senior-most Supreme Court judge as the next Executive Chairperson of the National Legal Services Authority (NALSA).

Justice Chandrachud replaces Justice UU Lalit, who took over as the 49th Chief Justice of India on August 27.

A former Chief Justice of the Allahabad High Court and a former judge of Bombay High Court, Justice Chandrachud would hold the position till November 8 after which he is expected to be elevated as the 50th CJI. Constituted under the Legal Services Authorities Act, 1987, the NALSA is mandated to provide free legal services to the weaker sections of society.

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).
