Chandigarh, September 29

The action of “unilaterally” locking up The Galleria, DLF, Jalandhar, a shopping mall-cum-office complex, today came under judicial scanner with a petition challenging the same on no less than 20 grounds, and raising questions on law on the powers of the state government to exercise administrative and supervisory control over such projects.

Taking up the petition filed by Trilochan Singh Anand through counsels Kabir Sarin and Raghav Dayal Gupta, the Bench of Justice SN Satyanarayana and Justice Archana Puri has put the DLF, the state of Punjab and other respondents on notice. The Bench issued notice regarding stay, while fixing November 4 as the next date of hearing in the matter. — 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).
