New Delhi, December 13

The Uddhav Thackeray faction of the Shiv Sena on Tuesday told the Supreme Court that the issues arising out of the recent political crisis in Maharashtra should be decided by a seven-judge Constitution Bench.

As the matter came up for hearing before a five-judge Constitution Bench led by Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud, senior counsel Kapil Sibal said the top court’s five-judge Bench verdict in the Nabam Rebia case (2016) on powers of Assembly Speaker to deal with disqualification of MLAs under the anti-defection law needed a relook by a seven-judge Bench.

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).
