Chandigarh, May 27

A local court has dismissed a defamation case filed by Akali leader Jaswinder Kaur, a resident of Barnala, against, Congress leader Sukhpal Singh Khaira.

Jaswinder filed the case in March 2018 when Khaira was in AAP and was the Leader of the Opposition. She sought action against him for allegedly defaming her and calling her characterless and a blackmailer.

She alleged Khaira used the derogatory language in a video released in December 2017 on social media. She had filed the complaint under Sections 499, 500 and 504 of the IPC against Khaira.

The court has dismissed the suit for default.

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).
