Ludhiana, December 11

The court of Judicial Magistrate Harsimranjit Kaur has taken a grim view of summoning a police file related to the rape case against Lok Insaaf Party chief and Atam Nagar MLA Simarjit Singh Bains by the DIG, Faridkot Range.

Passing an order, the court observed: “This court has failed to appreciate how the DIG, Faridkot Range, or the Director, Bureau of Investigation, Punjab, Chandigarh, is conducting further probe into the matter without the permission of the court, particularly when the chargsheet has already been filed.” — OC

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).
