New Delhi, January 17

The Supreme Court on Tuesday agreed to hear on January 23 journalist Rana Ayyub’s petition challenging the summons issued to her by a Ghaziabad Special Court in a money-laundering case lodged against her by the Enforcement Directorate.

A Bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud agreed to hear the plea after her counsel Vrinda Grover requested it to list the matter urgently.

Grover said the summons has been issued by the PMLA Special Court in Ghaziabad against Ayyub for January 27 and therefore it should be taken up urgently.

Ayyub has sought quashing of the proceedings initiated by the ED in Ghaziabad citing lack of jurisdiction as the alleged offence of money laundering occurred in Mumbai.

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).
