New Delhi, December 22

Amid a raging debate over demands to criminalise marital rape, the Karnataka Government has supported before the Supreme Court the trial of a man accused of raping his wife, saying the state HC has already considered all related questions of law. In an affidavit filed in the top court, the Karnataka Government has opposed a petition filed by a husband challenging a Karnataka High Court order that refused to stay his trial in a marital rape case.

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).
