New Delhi, March 27

The Supreme Court (SC) on Monday tagged Bharat Rashtra Samithi (BRS) leader K Kavitha’s petition seeking protection from arrest and challenging the summons issued by the Enforcement Directorate in a money laundering case relating to the alleged Delhi excise policy scam with other petitions against ED summons.

A Bench, led by Justice Ajay Rastogi, said it would take up the petitions of the BRS leader and others after three weeks after senior advocate Kapil Sibal said a similar plea filed by Nalini Chidambaram, a senior advocate and wife of Congress leader P Chidambaram, was pending.

Solicitor General Tushar Mehta said after the filing of Nalini’s petition, a three-judge Bench upheld the provisions of the PMLA, which squarely covered summoning of an accused.

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).
