New Delhi, December 20

While speaking on the Bills to replace the Indian Penal Code and the Criminal Procedure Code in the Lok Sabha today, Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal asserted that checks and balances should be introduced to ensure that the three criminal Bills are not be misused.

She expressed concerns over the new Bill that looks to replace the IPC, which only allows a mercy petition to be filed by a family member, and questioned what would happen if the convict has no family.

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).
