New Delhi, September 26

The SC on Monday upheld the Gujarat HC’s order quashing a criminal case against actor Shah Rukh Khan for allegedly causing a stampede at the Vadodara railway station during the promotion of his film ‘Raees’ in 2017.

Khan and his production team were travelling from Mumbai to Delhi by train to promote the film in January 2017. When the train reached Vadodara, a crowd gathered at the station leading to the stampede. A Bench led by Justice Ajay Rastogi rejected the appeal filed by complainant Jitendra Madhubhai Solanki against the April 2022 verdict.

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).
