Chandigarh, December 26

A man, who did not spend even a single day either in the police or judicial custody, has been sentenced to two years rigorous imprisonment by the Punjab and Haryana High Court in a nearly two-decade old attempt to murder case. The case was registered following an alleged fight over a small container.

In all, four accused were convicted by the trial court. Two of the accused were sentenced to seven years rigorous imprisonment for attempt to murder under Section 307 of the IPC, while the others were sentenced to two years. An FIR in the matter was registered in April 2004, the order of conviction and sentence was passed by Gurdaspur Additional Sessions Judge, (Adhoc), Fast Track Court, in February 2004 and the case was pending in the High Court since then. — TNS

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).
