New Delhi, January 10

The Centre on Tuesday notified the appointment of Justice N Kotiswar Singh as the acting Chief Justice of the Gauhati High Court.

A notification issued by the Department of Justice in the Law Ministry said Justice Singh would take over on January 12 after incumbent Chief Justice Rashmin Manharbhai Chhaya demits office on January 11.

The SC Collegium had, on December 13 last year, recommended the elevation of Justice Singh, the senior-most judge of the Gauhati HC, as the Chief Justice of the J&K and Ladakh HC. The government is yet to act on the Collegium’s recommendation.

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).
