Chandigarh, April 8

Acting on a petition filed by SGPC president Bibi Jagir Kaur, Justice Tejinder Singh Dhindsa of the Punjab and Haryana High Court has ordered keeping in abeyance further proceedings in pursuance to an order passed by Punjab Lokpal.

In her petition filed through counsel R Kartikeya, Bibi Jagir Kaur had challenged January 8 order passed by the Lokpal, in terms of which a regular inquiry was directed under the provisions of the Punjab Lokpal Act pertaining to a complaint dated August 24, 2011.

Referring to the order, Kartikeya argued it was noticed by the Lokpal that the complaint was regarding nagar panchayat land being in possession of a school set up on common land and how the land changed hands to come to vest with the society running the school. — 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).
