Chandigarh, July 30
A Chandigarh court has issued notices to Punjab on an application moved by former Moga SSP Charanjit Sharma to adjourn hearing in the Behbal Kalan firing case till the completion of further investigation.
Sharma moved the application on the ground that the investigating agency had failed to furnish final investigation reports in compliance with the High Court directions issued in writ petitions.
He said in this case, the prosecution agency was insisting on hearing arguments on the charges on the basis of the chargesheets filed earlier in spite of the fact that the further investigation in the case was still pending.
The HC, on May 31, had ordered to transfer the trial of the case to Chandigarh from a Faridkot court on a plea filed by Sharma. — 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).
