Chandigarh, June 17

The Punjab and Haryana High Court today dismissed a plea for second post-mortem of alleged gangster Jaipal Singh Bhullar after asserting his petitioner father “miserably failed” to satisfy the Bench on how the petition was maintainable.

Justice Manjari Nehru Kaul asserted the alleged occurrence took place at Kolkata. The post-mortem, too, was conducted by the doctors at Kolkata. As such, it would be beyond the jurisdiction of the court to issue directions sought by the petitioner.

Justice Kaul took note of the submission that the body was lying at Ferozepur. “…the petitioner is impugning the first post-mortem, which was conducted at Kolkata beyond the jurisdiction of this court,” he said, dismissing the petition. — TNS

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).
