New Delhi, August 24

As around 500 Constitution Bench matters hang fire, the Supreme Court on Wednesday notified that 25 five-judge Constitution Bench cases will be listed from August 29, two days after Justice UU Lalit is scheduled to take over as the 49th Chief Justice of India.

According to a notice issued by the top court, these matters will be listed for directions, including filing of common compilation, short written submissions and tentative indication as to time to be taken by lawyers for making their submissions and thereafter, the cases would be listed as per directions of the court. According to Vidhi Centre for Legal Policy, a total of 492 cases are pending before Constitution Benches of the SC.

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).
