Chandigarh, September 30

The Punjab and Haryana HC today confirmed the interim anticipatory bail granted to Punjabi singer Gurdas Maan in a case registered against him on August 26 for allegedly hurting religious feelings of the Sikh community. The Bench, at the same time, granted the investigating officer the liberty to make Maan join the probe through video-conferencing as he was down with Covid.

“As no custodial interrogation of the petitioner is required, the interim bail granted on September 15 is made absolute. Let the petitioner join the investigation within five weeks from today. In the meantime, the investigating officer may join petitioner through video-conference,” Justice Avneesh Jhingan asserted. — 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).
