New Delhi, December 17

The Supreme Court on Friday stayed the election process on seats reserved for Other Backward Classes (OBCs) in local body polls in Madhya Pradesh.

A Bench led by Justice AM Khanwilkar directed the State Election Commission to re-notify the OBC seats as those meant for general category. The Bench — which had on December 15 passed a similar order with regard to Maharashtra — said the same principle must apply to the local body election in Madhya Pradesh.

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).
