New Delhi, February 3

The Supreme Court today refused to entertain a PIL seeking a probe by a judicial inquiry commission into the Republic Day violence during farmers’ tractor rally in the national Capital.

“We are sure the government is inquiring into it and taking appropriate action….The PM in his statement has said the law will take its own course,” a Bench headed by Chief Justice of India SA Bobde said.

As the petitioners’ counsel said the probe shouldn’t be one-sided, the CJI said, “Obviously… what does an investigation mean? Both sides will be investigated.” — 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).
