Chandigarh, June 6

The Punjab and Haryana High Court today dismissed a petition on jurisdiction grounds filed by Jaggu Bhagwanpuria’s mother for providing her son a bulletproof jacket after claiming the hatching of a conspiracy by the investigating agency at the behest of “rival gangster” to kill him in a fake encounter.

Justice Manjari Nehru Kaul asserted admittedly the petitioner’s son was presently lodged at Tihar Jail in New Delhi. “Hence, this court would refrain from passing any directions as prayed for, since the petitioner’s son is lodged in a jail beyond this court’s jurisdiction”.

Senior advocate RS Rai, assisted by state counsel Gaurav Garg Dhuriwala, Luvinder Sofat, and Pratham Sethi, at the outset raised an objection on the petition’s maintainability on the ground of the court’s territorial jurisdiction.

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).
