Chandigarh, July 6

The Punjab and Haryana High Court today asked the state to clarify its stand on a regular bail petition filed by former health minister Vijay Singla. He was arrested by the police in a corruption case.

As the case came up for resumed hearing, Justice Lisa Gill asked the state to specify whether it was opposing the petition, following which the state sought time to respond to the query. The case would now come up for further hearing on July 8. In the petition filed and argued by senior advocate Vinod Ghai with Kanika Ahuja, Kirti Ahuja and Edward Augustine George, Singla had submitted that he was arraigned as an accused in the FIR because his political opponents wanted to tarnish his image.

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).
