Expressing displeasure over senior lawyers failing to reach consensus over the legal issues relating to gender discrimination in various religious practices, including those at Sabarimala Temple, the Supreme Court on Thursday said it would fix the timeline and other modalities for hearing by a nine-judge Constitution Bench on February 3.

“We are little disappointed as you could not arrive at a consensus. Now a nine-judge Bench will go through the questions submitted by some of you (advocates) and try to crystallize the issues on February 3 and would decide on schedule and other modalities,” a three-judge Bench headed by Chief Justice of India SA Bobde said after senior advocate V Giri mentioned the matter. — 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).
