Chandigarh, July 15

The Punjab and Haryana High Court reserved orders on a plea filed by MLA Simarjeet Singh Bains challenging lower court orders directing the registration of a rape case against him. Justice Manjari Nehru Kaul reserved the order after hearing detailed arguments.

In his petition filed through counsel Gautam Dutt, Bains sought directions to the state for quashing the order dated July 7 passed by the Ludhiana Additional Chief Justice Magistrate, directing the SHO of Division No. 6 police station to register a criminal case against him. His argument was that the order was passed without application of judicial mind and was contrary to the settled principles of criminal jurisprudence. — 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).
