Chandigarh, July 23

The Punjab and Haryana High Court today not only asked Panjab University (PU) to consider the feasibility of passing students on the basis of previous semesters’ performance, but also extended the stay on ‘final examinations’ till August 13. The direction by Justice Ritu Bahri came on a petition filed against the PU and other respondents by Yatin Mehta and other petitioners through counsel Harlove Singh Rajput.

The petitioners were seeking the quashing of orders and notifications issued between May 26 and June 19, whereby final year students were directed to appear for their end-semester examinations. — TNS

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).
