A Mohali court on Friday fixed August 4 as the next date of hearing on the bail plea of SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia in a case under the Prevention of Corruption Act.

The defence counsel said the arguments had been completed by their side, but the prosecution was delaying the case. Majithia’s counsel also made a plea that his client be physically produced during every hearing, while the prosecution sought his presence through videoconferencing for the hearing on his application for change of barrack on August 2.

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).
