Chandigarh, April 8

The Punjab and Haryana High Court today declined former police chief Sumedh Singh Saini’s prayer for the issuance of 7-day prior notice in case he was required in any other case henceforth.

Saini and the state also reached a consensus that probe in two FIRs registered against him would be carried out by an SIT headed by ADGP SS Srivastava. Taking up the matter, Justice Avneesh Jhingan also made it clear that petitioner (Saini) would join probe in all the FIRs in which he was protected, “irrespective of the phraseology used for protection”. —

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).
