New Delhi, September 27

The Delhi High Court on Monday said it would hear on September 29 a plea seeking enhanced security in district courts in the national capital, which recently witnessed a courtroom shootout that killed three persons.

Lawyer Richa Singh informed a Bench of Chief Justice DN Patel and Justice Jyoti Singh that she had moved an application for early hearing in the petition pending since 2019, seeking better safety and security at the courts where incidents of crime had taken place.

The application specifically mentions the Rohini Court complex incident in which a gangster and two others were killed in a courtroom shootout last week. — PTI

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).
