Ludhiana, October 18

The Court of Chief Judicial Magistrate Sumit Makkar has issued production warrant against former Local Bodies Minister Navjot Singh Sidhu.

The warrant has been issued in a complaint case filed by ex-DSP Balwinder Singh Sekhon against the former Food & Civil Supplies Minister Bharat Bhushan Ashu for October 21.

The court also dismissed Sidhu’s fresh application, seeking permission to appear as a witness through video-conferencing.

The court observed that earlier also Sidhu had moved a similar plea, which was declined. Thereafter, he moved the Sessions Court, which also dismissed his plea.

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).
