Chandigarh, June 2

The Punjab and Haryana High Court today ruled that the selection of Naib Tehsildars in Punjab would be subject to the final outcome of a writ petition before it.

The assertion came as Justice Mahabir Singh Sindhu issued notice of motion to Punjab and other respondents for July 13. Notice regarding the grant of interim relief as well was also issued.

The direction came on a petition filed against the state and other respondent through counsel RS Kalra. Among other things, he contended that the Punjab Naib Tehsildars (Competitive Examination) Regulation, 1984, was still in vogue as per the official website of the respondents. It said “a candidate shall answer general knowledge paper in English medium or in Punjabi”.

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).
