In the Behbal Kalan police firing case, the public prosecutor on behalf of the Special Investigation Team (SIT) today argued for the framing of charges against the accused.

On the other hand, HS Saini, counsel for former Moga SSP Charanjit Singh Sharma, urged the court to defer the proceedings till February 2020 in view of the Punjab and Haryana High Court’s order of granting exemption from personal appearance to former DGP Sumedh Singh Saini. As all accused must be charged and tried jointly, so the framing of charges was legally not tenable in absence of Saini, he argued. — 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).
