Chandigarh, April 1

Just about a fortnight after the formation of the AAP government, the state of Punjab has initiated the process of engaging law officers.

Available information suggests applications for the posts will be invited by next week and the entire process will be complete by month-end. As of now, the state has extended the contractual term of its law officers. Three law officers appointed earlier under the Advocate General’s discretionary quota had already submitted their resignation and were, as such, not included in the list of those granted extension till further orders or the completion of fresh engagement process.

Although the number of posts to be advertised is not known, it is believed the government may engage more than 150 law officers to represent the state before the Punjab and Haryana High Court and Supreme Court. —

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).
