New Delhi, February 10

The Supreme Court on Monday said its five-judge bench could refer legal questions to a larger bench while exercising limited power under review jurisdiction.

The court framed seven questions to be heard by the nine-judge bench on issues relating to freedom of religion under the Constitution and faith.

In the Sabarimala case, the SC proposed to hear on day-to-day basis from February 17 questions framed on scope of religious freedom in various religions. 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).
