Chandigarh, April 6

Akali leader Bikram Singh Majithia today appeared in the court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Aman Inder Singh Sandhu in a case registered against him during a protest held here.

The police had registered a case against 23 Akali leaders, including Majithia on November 6, 2021, for offences punishable under the IPC during a protest. An FIR was registered on the complaint of an Inspector, who alleged that the Akali leaders attacked some policemen during a protest at the MLA hostel in Sector 3 here.

Meanwhile, the state has failed to file a reply on a discharge plea filed by Balwinder Singh, one of the accused in the case. Balwinder had filed a discharge application through counsel Rajesh Kumar Rai.

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).
