Justice Lokpal Singh had reserved the judgment after hearing a bunch of petitions related to the matter on October 14.

The order is being seen as a big setback to the Congress which has been questioning the infallibility of the electronic voting machines (EVMs) on a national level.

Defeated Congress candidates Navprabhat, Vikram Singh Negi, Rajkumar, Ambareesh Kumar and Godavari Thapli had challenged the 2017 election results which had gone against them, alleging manipulation of EVMs.

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).
