New Delhi, March 20

Three years after two Hindu ‘sadhus’ and their driver were lynched in Palghar district of Maharashtra, the SC on Monday agreed to list for hearing petitions seeking a CBI probe into the incident. “We’ll list it,” a Bench led by CJI DY Chandrachud told the petitioners’ counsel after he said the Maharashtra Government was ready to hand over the case to the CBI. The top court is seized of two petitions — one filed by sadhus and relatives of the deceased seers and the other by one Ghanshyam Upadhyay.

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).
