Chandigarh, July 13

Justice Rajbir Sehrawat of the High Court today dismissed a petition filed by pro-Khalistan activist Amritpal Singh and three others for quashing July 6 order passed by the Amritsar DC allegedly denying them the right be defended by a lawyer of their choice. This, they contended, was mandated in the Constitution.

Amritpal, Harjit Singh, Sarabjeet Kalsi and Varinder Fauji had also sought directions to the DC for arranging and ensuring their “legal meetings” with the lawyers of their choice.

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).
