Chandigarh, April 21

Dera chief Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh today moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking directions to Punjab and other respondents to dispense with his physical presence and production before a court in connection with a sacrilege-related matter.

Directions were also sought to permit his presence through video-conferencing.

Justice Arvind Singh Sangwan fixed the case for further hearing on April 25. The dera chief, through counsel senior counsel Vinod Ghai and advocate Kanika Ahuja, submitted that the direction was necessary “due to serious threat and apprehension to the life and well-being of the petitioner”. —

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).
