The Punjab Government has decided to file a special leave petition (SLP) in the Supreme Court against the Punjab and Haryana High Court order quashing the findings of an SIT probe in the Kotkapura police firing case.

Sources said CM Capt Amarinder Singh had given his approval for filing the SLP.

The HC had rapped the SIT, headed by then IGP Kunwar Vijay Pratap Singh, for carrying out a “politically motivated” probe. It had ordered forming another SIT minus Vijay Pratap. — 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).
